content: So, I have TWO Fluke 9100(s) with cracked/broken displays... and a third one I can barely read.Hoping maybe someone has any spare 9100 chassis parts?

content: do you have any markings on them ??same as Wavetek 9100 too seems the Datron 9100 too, who often called Datron Wavetek ??sv manuals here, schematics :http://www.ko4bb.com/getsimple/index.php?id=manuals&dir=06_Misc_Test_Equipment/Datron/Datron_9100capture of the schematic part 4 lcd pinoutsteardownhttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/wavetek-9100-calibrator-teardown-photos/since you have an SED1351F on the digital pcb, it will be an controller less graphical displaymeaning only row and column drivers onlyonly one who come in mind is : DMF-50840NB-FW DMF-50840 Optrex 5.7" LCD Display 320x240 lcd, not even sure it fits ?? But the lcd pdf seems to fit ??

content: I will post more details tonight when i am home, its not the same as either of those.This display is actually a 132x26 VFD , the Driver Chips are on the interface board directly, enough of the display is still intact to maybe allow removal to look for actual part number..The Display Area is 165mm x 19mm , however, There is room to put an LCD up to 222mm x 70mmThe data signallying to the 8518 drivers chips are arranged in 4 Horizontal Drivers , and 4 Vertical Drivers daisy chained ( the 4 Horizontals are independent with separate Clock/Latch/Data )SD1 -> DI to 8518"a" and DI to 8518"b" , But two different /latchSD2 -> DI to 8518"c" and DI to 8518"c" , But two different /latchAll 4 Horizontals driven by same clock.GDI -> DI to 8518"e" DO -> DI 8518 "f" DO -> DI 8518 "g" DO -> DI 8518 "h" , Driven by 1 clock and latch.So, shouldn't be to trival to build something that takes those signals and then presents the output on an LCD Panel ( I have ordered some larger HDMI LCD displays that will fit into the panel area, and maybe look at modifying something like the RGB2HDMI or some other adapter ( like they did for the roland keyboard ) , i think the dot clock is < 3mhzThe Actual System is what is called a Fluke 9100 Trouble Shooter System

content: FYI, Here is the displays in question, I don't think he ever found replacements himself.https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/looking-for-a-lcd-panel-to-use-to-replace-vfd/msg1398170/#msg1398170

content: Quote from: Hamster on March 07, 2024, 07:36:31 pmI did find some replacement Noritake VFDs. Identical dot pitch width and height. Identical physical display width. But 32 lines vs 24. No issue, just render the inner 24 lines. They're $300 a unit with a large MOQ but I got a bunch for cheap. Eventually I plan to make a product out of them but it needs a complete new microcontroller implementation. I'm not going to try and piggyback onto the existing drivers.

content: i will not being using the existing drivers either, i will be remove them all and using just the Clock and Data Lines from the Z8 CPU.

content: 9500B calibrator (based on the same chassis) seems to be still in production. So you might be able to get a brand new replacement from Fluke...

content: QuoteYeah, not at all confusing....So the FLUKE 9100 is a multi function calibrator, the 9100A is microprocessor test system and the 9100S i dry-well "oven".Did they run out of modelnumbers or what :-)

content: Quote from: H.O on April 26, 2024, 05:06:11 amProbably because 9100 test system was originally designed by fluke, 9100 calibrator was originally designed by wavetek/datron and 9100 dry-well was originally a hart-scientific product.
