The VFD is the biggest problem on these, as it goes dim. I think there is a LED replacement: http://bbs.38hot.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=828474

I have an 8840A "for parts or not working" on the way, I could get you the answer in a few days if no one else comes back by then.

I make the VFD on my 8840A to be:  120 mm wide, 33 mm high, 8 mm deep.  The little bulb in the top left corner sticks out 5 mm.  I can't see the back of the VFD so don't know what the pin spacing is.

But you can definitely see the problem with mine !!!
