[BBurch824]

Hello Everyone. I need some ideas of what to check out on my Revenge from Mars game. The florencent light in the back box doesnt work. I tried replacing the bulb already of course, no luck. Cant find any info online. Someone help please.  Thanks

Guess I'd check the usual.....all fuses, loose wires, etc.  Does revenge use a ballast?

[BBurch824]

yes i think its a ballast. How would i know if thats what i need to replace and where would i get a new one?

[BBurch824]

Pretty sure i need a new ballast but i cant seem to find one for sale anywhere.
I need an,  A-23155 ballast. 

Any ideas??   Thanks

Normally I'd recommend Marco Specialties since they carry it here, but they're currently out of stock.

Mad Amusements also carries them, but I can't vouch for the company, so Caveat Emptor.

PL1 beat me too it....$15 part if that's really your issue.  I've ordered from Mad Amusements once so far without issues.

A starter can be bought for around 3 bux from any hardware store. It's rare for ballasts to go bad without smelling like burning plastic.

So, im kinda confused. Does RFM use this starter? I cant find any mention of it in any diagrams. Do i use this starter to do something else?
