@wktodd Ya i found it, thanks bro. I might get a kit.... not too sure yet, I havent decided.
If i had more funding, i would buy a bunch of these glass VFDs to build a matrix of them to make a spectrum analyzer. but yea... funds are tight these days. nice thought though.... maybe someday.
@wktodd Yea, if you like originality, albeit slightly more compact, I would prefer making it "larger" and thus using something similar as what you have, even though it isnt original/practical, it still would be fun.
Do you know of a similar VFD display which would be about 34 segments long? Maybe two 17 segment units? Might be a few out either way but that looks to be almost the exact spacing and size I need. Oh, single line, not dual. Any help would be appreciated!
The display shown is a Noritake Itron FG202SA2 Analogue Bar Display, the only type I have available.
Each blue/green segment is 3mm wide on a 1mm spacing , bars are spaced 5mm apart. The overall dimensions of the glass are:30mm x 132mm x 8mm. leads are 13mm long ( 0.1" spacing).
For other types, try Noritake Itron online (utube won't let me post a link)
Where can you get the FG202SA2 reasonable?

@wktodd I tried searching for FG202SA2, and nothing came up.

Search VFD bargraph. I have modules and kits. if you want just the vfd (glass) I can list them separately for you.

I think you'd be better off using a dot-matrix display for a spectrum analyser. It would be more compact (albeit slightly harder to drive).
These dual bar displays are idea for dual channel level monitoring (i.e. L+Ror level +phase etc.) .
