    hi how would i find out what controller a VFD uses as i have a NCR 5972 - 1 serial but i cant see where the controller is or what the comtrooler is, i dont want to plug it in as it has a custom power plug & i havent worked out which of the three are live & whic is the ground & what voltage then need.

    please help

    NCR? did you nab that off of a register system? :D ... unfortunately, NCR typically uses proprietary equipment... I will try to see if I can find out more about the controller.

    Call NCR at: 1-800-CALL-NCR and see if you can get the technical manual for the RealPOS 5972 Remote 2x20 Customer Display. I looked on their website but couldn't find anything.

    thank you eddie thank you , i will post a writeup of what i am doing with it & what it has turned into when it is finished. my first born is yours oh god if knowlege :D

    (im sorry i could not resist)

    sorry one last question (your probably getting sick of this right?) i have the serial cable & i need a cheap way to power it, would one of these universal ac to DC converters do it if i cut the power plug off & hard wire the display to the adapter

    assuming the power supply jives with the demand of the display, it should be fine... but perhaps one of the electronic gurus could chime in about that.
