Planar EL DC-DC converter

[Garrett Mace]

I'm looking for a DC-DC converter as used in older Planar electroluminescent
displays. The particular one I need is a PS512-6. They were typically
mounted to the back of the display, or sometimes located a short distance
away with a 26-conductor cable.

If I could get a pinout of the power connector, that would be almost as
good.

Thanks...

Very nice, but I had the forethought to Google up what I could find, before
posting. None of Planar's documents include the pinout of that power supply,
and it's more than just a source of high voltage; AFAIK there is some
communication between the the display and DC-DC converter.

What I need is an actual power module as produced by Planar years back. The
one I have burned itself up a little before the fuse tripped.
