Hello very fine work: Does the kit include step by step instructions or one muse go thru this very long thread to extract the procedure?
I have never disassembled the 8842A. Approx Time to do the entire process, 1 hr? 1 day?
I will buy IF if the procedure is easy and obvious but no time in my life to use up a day.
Many thanks
Jon

I have replaced 3 VFDs with these LED units. You need to follow the service manual to disassemble the meter and extract
the VFD PCB. It is easily done but not trivial. Care must be taken to not damage any of the hybrid modules on the
main board. Dont take short cuts. You must have the basic skills to de-solder the VFD also. The traces are easily
damaged with too much heat.
Installation of the replacement to the PCB is easy. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.
Not a 1hr job.
