[Premium-Rx] RF-590 display

[Mac Mail]

very common with this fine receiver.. no use ..  these are vacume displays,
and quite replacable..howecer the only source i know of is Mike at Toronto
Surplus..and he might mot sell emm , as he advertise's that he will only
make them availible if you buy the 590 from him...he has a attitude of
supporting what he sells .. but not others.. which i understand.. and more
than less agree with.. but this said  it would be worth a call..  and the
better answer is we here in this group need to find a source on our own.. as
we have many 590 / 590a drivers in the group..  if we can find a supplier ..
and it is a time of delivery issue.. i have a new display board i would loan
you till something comes in..  good luck  mac/mc
