| NEC LD8121 VFD Tube pinout |

Quick update before you get started: I just realized I recommended starting with 5V on the filament. No!!! There are a good few (especially older) VFDs that take about 2-2.5V - you'll pop it with 5. Start around 2V, 12V on the anodes, and if it doesn't work satisfactorily, increase the heater voltage gently and keep an eye on the filaments - go up until they just start to glow a tiny bit, then back off the voltage a hair so that they're just about to glow. If they are indeed equivalent to IV-27, this website claims 5.15V at 160mA. |

Hah good to know this before doing experiments :) |

If you haven't seen it, you may find something useful in the schematics I posted a little while back. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/'jelly-bean'-vfd-driver/ |

And schematics seems really useful for the young VFD players like me. Thanks :) |

Just quick update. Unfortunately, was stuck with real job for quite a while and then my DC supply decided to go kapuuut. Fixing it now and hope to come with pinouts soon :) Sorry if someone was interested in such a schematic.. |
