The display on my Strange Science alternates between a powerful clear image, and the flickering seen below.

In the image you can see all the characters are displayed, but several are extremely weak.

If the displays are switching between this flickering and 100% image, what is the likely culprit?
I have a NOS set of 6803 displays, but I don't want to waste them before I figure out if this is a power or a display issue.

Any help greatly appreciated !

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having a issue with a flickering display on Special Force.
