I have a toasted VFD (here is why and how) and as I was reading BriceO's post, I opened mine to see how bad the damage is and if it's possible to try repairing it.

What are the chances to get it running by replacing the toasted components and restore the damaged tracks? And what are the chances to have the problem somewhere else and have them toasted again after replacing? The remainder percentage is about being unable to identify and replace all the bad components...

Is it worth trying?
