Upshot: I salvage a few custom-build VFD's off of commercial grade treadmills, and figure out how to repurpose them for the shop. These VFD boards are Digital Concepts ACD1U's, which were paired with DGE1U's upper displays, sometime circa 2004 on a number of different Star Trac brand treadmills. Using a DSO138 oscillocsope, I was able to cobble together a proof of concept for replacing that display with a simple Arduino - something much better suited for a shop environment.
