OK update time:
Empeg are going to send me a new VFD so that I can fit it myself. They'll send it overnight on Monday so should get it Tuesday morning. They did advise me against users repairing their own units but this repair looks straightforward enough.

So I've got a few days without a display but at least a solution is on it's way. And I can at least use Frank's excellent Displayserver in the meantime while it's hooked up to my PC .

Excellent service once again from the empeg team. I mean how many people are so dedicated that they are still working at 20:17 (the timestamp on the last email from empeg support) on a Friday evening? Well done to empeg & keep up the good service (just wish those Tuners would hurry up ).
