Hello, I'm still searching for infos  :-\ , the board is labelled CF82E57, I can see it required 263V plus other voltages that I don't know....
I'd like to use the plasma bargraph into a diy synth 
If someone has pin out, schematics.........Thank you

Unfortunately, you can't use the meter card by itself. You need the ramp generator card 82E73, the HT Driver card 82E75 and the Switch and Lamp logic card 82E74.

Thank you for your answer,  excuse me but I haven't said all . I have by chance in the studio a ssl 4000 G with bargraph and everything that I need. all is dismounted, that's why I need a schematic with the boards you speak about.

Thank you again.

Ah, OK. Going to be a major project then! 
Give me a few days and I should be able to scan all the necessary schematics and upload them to the Groupdiy email.

gah!!!

I hate the plasma bargraphs! I've been 'nipped' more times than I care to remember. -WATCH OUT for the six heatsinks... BE CAREFUL with probes...

I made extender ribbons to allow me to work on the card in a more comfortable position, look into that.

With many of them, it's the tube which goes bad, -good luck finding a replacement. -The edges of the tube are milled off in order to get it to fit between the two rows of LEDs which illuminate the meter scales.

I loved the PPMs, I lived the VU's, I even enjoyed the 'VU-PK' (switchable ballistics)... but I reserve a special dislike for the plasma bargraphs! (shudder) !

Are they similar to Nixies IN13 byt any chance?

Nope. Not similar at all.

they're Cherry or Burroughs, I believe.

Hi, Would you ind sharing the plasma meter schematics with me? I think you might have already but I lost a harddrive.

 

[Walrus]

No problem, I think I should still have them. Will sort in the morning.
