"Ar****wit Daily"

Bit of a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone on here has got a scrap one
of these languishing up a corner in their cellar or wherever ? Owner of a
shop that I do a lot of work for has been given one of these lovely old
units, but the VFD is busted. Other than that, it all seems to work just
fine. It's an NEC 16 character 'starburst' type. Seems its actual number
is FIP16A5. There are references on the 'net, but no one stocking such an
item even as NOS. Anyone help ?

than some ****ing pile of FAULTY digital **** that is over 20 years old.

Get real - you stupid, pommy ****head.
