All vendors sell them, MAD I believe being the cheapest. Unless you want to pay less for one with issues, go new from a vendor.

Do they still manufacture gas plasma DMDs? Or are they NOS?

Still being MFD.

Pinball life has got them for $130-140ish. (I think)

It will probably be tough to find one. Unless someone just bought a new color DMD for AFM. BUT, chances are that they'd want to keep it anyway and save it for when they need it themselves.

Good luck, sir!

I have one with one dot out but I'm in Canada so it might be better to find local or order from Terry @ Pballlife

No offense, but it sort of is wishful thinking. The only thing that you will most likely be offered are dmds that are outgassing, or if you get lucky, dmds with lines out (usually fixable). Even if you are offered those, you are looking at 50-60 each. Outgassing dmds will put stress on your high voltage section, and then you will be looking for a DMD and components to fix your high voltage section.

I recently bit the bullet on a couple of displays (bought 3 from Terry at PinballLife), but in the end, it is the way to go, as they are warrantied and will probably the last dmd you purchase for your game.

Good luck on your search.

I'm replacing one in my FT that has the top line out if you're just looking for something to make it work.

I thought that if there was a line out, that a new resistor/diode or epoxy on a bad pin would fix that.

I have repaired DMDs with a line out a few times. If you aren't experienced with it, might just be better to get a new one. That is, unless the game has little/no value.
