It's not just me; read the many posts on MSF and you'll see that your VFC is the exception. So when you get your new VFC, you will be joining me and the others!

Not sure that you really will do this when you get the new VFC. You will need to use the old one almost guaranteed! But, yes by all means, I would test them as recommended. So I would welcome one that works!

The data sheets are on the web site; no need to request them. I've zipped them into the attached file fyi.

They "155" material (TB1577 cross reference) are in the ZIP file. Kanthal is part of the Sandvik Materials Group.
