Commodore N60

To go with the S61, recently got an N60:

Batteries had to be replaced, then I found that the display had bad ghosting. With the S61 I added a resistor to drag the display down in voltage a bit, which seemed to work. This time I looked at the PCB and found some deposits from the battery leakage. After cleaning them off the display looked like this:


This is probably a better display now than the S61. I may go back and see if a very good clean sorts the S61 out. It had a worse case of leaky batteries so it could be the problem. The VFD display circuitry has some pretty high impedance inputs and any muck on the PCB seems to affect the display badly.
