Agilent 53132A Counter Repair (FIXED and Upgraded)
HighVoltage:
It seems that there are at least 2 different VFDs used in these counters:
One made by itron / Japan and one made by Samsung in South Korea
Both are interchangeable, but the metal frame around them has to be bent a little, to make the itron version fit, when the samsung was installed before.

FRN errors are not good!
Usually it is the front end that is dead.
You need to look at the the first amplifier stage, which is most likely dead.
But the service manual and schematics are available and you can find your way through and get it repaired.

It was so much sticky, nasty dirt everywhere, it took several deep cycle bath tubs in pure alcohol, to take it all off.
Repair so far:
1. One power resistor exchanged in the power supply
2. All 5 BNC connectors replaced to new
3. New VFD installed
Seems to work again, the new VFD is nice a bright.

Hi, where did you get the new VFD? I need to replace mine as it is very dim with non-uniform intensity on various segments
