-CD playes, radios, alarm clocks and microwave ovens often contain linear VFDs.  VFDs recovered from equipment are often mounted on their own circuit boards with driver ICs, but require additional power supplies beyond that used by logic circuits, to power their filaments and grids/anodes.+CD playes, radios, alarm clocks and microwave ovens often contain VFDs.  VFDs recovered from equipment are often mounted on their own circuit boards with driver ICs, but require additional power supplies beyond that used by logic circuits, to power their filaments and grids/anodes.
