how to find compatible replace for obsolete component ?

i need to replace a SN755518N VFD driver but none of the usuall sources have it mouser/arrow/avnet etc...

how do i find a compatible replacement ? or is there an old stock source somewhere ? or maybe there is a possiblity that some other obsolete device might have one that can be nabbed ?? like vcr or tv etc any ideas ?

help greatly appreciated, rob

thanks petrus, i have found stocks of eh SN75518N and other compatible replacements in many places from Germany to HK/china etc but the problem is these are huge Chip sales warehouses that only seem to deal with chip brokers, the chip brokers typically have a minimum order of $300-500 US dollars which is magnitudes more than i could fill.

thanks again for help, robb
