Shipping was $60 via FedEx. So rather expensive.
I took 5 days from US to Germany.
No additional taxes. Customs did somehow not checked it for import taxes.

Yeah, and you should know that I specifically asked for the lowest cost shipping option…

well guys,  no to rant or offend

the display itself is not expensive, and for now  peoples are lucky to get it ...  one day   nor far away,  there wont be

keysight for the old 34401a  in the end asked a mere 200$ usd for the vfd / front panel,   no longer available,     34410a 34411a  vfd's  no longer available,   only the clones  ones can save your instruments  or oled's hacks

Fluke 8845 8846  if you can get them   expensive as hell ...

Shipping from Canada or Usa  to euro zones,  believe me,  even some cheap shipping  will cost $$$,  some companies don't want to use simple / standard  mail carriers if they don't offer tracking

Even In Canada  from the Usa  i can not select very cheap carriers,  no tracking = no shipping  ....


in the end  if your instrument works fine, but display is bad,  it is still a good investment to get a new display to extend his life ...      now  many used instruments are showing on many sites with dim vfd's, and or the sellers  don't power them up and you buy them as is ... = no luck

i could not buy used ones because the sellers did not want to power them up,  they know ...

What happened to the project to build an LED replacement for the display?

Here is one I came across some time ago, but personally I don't like the way it looks...

Edit: forgot to insert link :palm:
