I saw one about a week ago looking through surplus sites, unfortunately I think I looked at about a dozen or so. Ill see if I can find it again, though this weekend is pretty much booked solid.

How about 2· premium 2 x 20 displays for $15. Cheap enought?
The catch is you have to figure out how to make them work.
Read the buyers comments on attempts to 'crack the code' at;

Other sites I have accumulated;

Hey everyone,
I found a cheap one here
https://secure.oswaltsystems.net/gosurplus/10Expand.asp?ProductCode=EMAX.POS.VFD

But no datasheet [noparse]:([/noparse] and I have never dealt with this company so I'll have to think about ordering a couple for awhile.

They seem like their whole inventory would fit into the trunk of a car.
