 		 #183761 - I think I got it
Responding to: ???'s previous message
My microwave ...
But of course VFD aren't alone with loss of intensity.,

I remember some dirt cheap (~$5 in quantity) VFDs we decided not to use, for whatever reason. "dirt cheap" usually is what is installed in things like microwaves.

the company is making professional equipment and the VFDs were in the $50 range in quantity.

that may explain the different experiences
