I tried the wire on a switch right next to it that I know works. Sadly that didn't fix the issue. I will have to try to follow the wire tomorrow and see where the issue with it is. It was really great hearing that music pumping out of the arcade machine again! I have a replacement bulb and starter for the light and I will install them and the new marquee tomorrow. |

So I bought a new bulb and starter for the light, and installed it, but then I realized that the wires running to the light fixture were missing! :dunno Anything special about that wire? I did get the new marquee in there though. I got the marquee in a lot deal off of ebay. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. I thought it was a reproduction marquee, but it was one printed on adhesive backing and had no stability to it. So I got some acrylic from Hobby Lobby and tried to put it on that. I got a lot of bubbles doing it that way, but it turned out alright. I still need to trim it down a little, but it looks so good in the machine already! |

If there's nothing running to the fixure you'll need to run wires back to the power supply. The wiring on the fixture should look something like the pics below. |

Now you know why people just buy under counter florescent fixtures and wire them in instead. Great pix 8bit. |
