Yeah, having a spare would be the best....I just missed a sale by one of the other board members of a used MKIIa w/out hdd and a spare vfd for 150 bucks! What a steal right? I am PISSED I didn't get it but oh well...sometimes you eat the bear....sometimes the bear eats you.

I am however interested in the VFD if I can make sure it's the VFD and not the board....anyone know how to tell? anyone...anyone....Bueller.
