My Tz is looking like it will shortly need a new dmd, and was looking at
the new Vishay ones...

... anyone have any experiences of them? they seem quite cheap compared
to the older type...

Thx
Paul

Go with Babcock... much better. I used to carry Vishay Dale but had
too many return problems. I was getting a 1 in 50 out-of-the-box fail
rate. I now carry Babcock and they have been MUCH more reliable.

I have had bad luck with these.I bought a new one from Brady's
Distrubiting and put it in a
World Cup '94.It worked for 8 months and then DIED completly.I then
put the almost 10 year
original Babcock brand back in and it has worked perfect .Granted this
old display has some
ghosting and burn in,but it STILL works and looks good.This new Vishay
display was in
my HUO machine and had less than 100 hours on it.I called Brady's and
they said too bad
but the warrenty is only 6 months.I am wondering if this is a wide
spread problem with this
companies DMD displays.Is this the display that STERN uses in its new
games?Could this
be the problem with the STERN displays failing so soon! Any other
company still make these?
If so who,as I am willing to try something new.
Ike.

There was a problem with some Vishay/Dale displays failing prematurely,
but that was about 3 years ago. Vishay will repair their displays.

I've used a few of the newer ones and they have been fine.

Hi Paul,
I e-mailed you privately. You have a "no spam" thing going on in your
address line and I am replying from google, so I don't know if it went
through.

Terry,

box (bar any shipping problems...). what are they like once proved
working initially?

How much are the babcock's? i can pick up a new vishay for $140 shipped
to the uk....
