| Malacus:
Has anyone been able to use an original Marquee lamp on a mame cabinet? just curious as I thought my bulbs were all burnt out so I bought the bulb for the marquee and got nothing. is there a way to just stick a plug on the wires and plug it into the wall? or maybe tap the Power Supplys 12v like I did for my coin door lights? I dont know very much about how the lighting works... -Mal I know, if all else fails, I can just find a lamp that takes the same bulb and replace the original - but i'm trying to do my cabinet as cheaply as possible. (and build a second, better one when I have more experience) |

No idea, but you can get an 18" under cabinet light at Walmart for $5.99 and just plug that baby in. Some things aren't worth the time in my opinion. You might just need a new ballast or starter, they are both cheap at Home Depot. |

that cheap at wally-world? hmm, maybe I'll just do that and not bother with getting the original to work, I'll have to take some measurements. thanks for the advice! -Mal |

A.M.O.A. (Amusement Machine Operators Association) compliant cabinets have all been standardized on the usual F15T8CW fluorescent light fixture (operating on 120 volts AC) since the mid 1980's for the marquee light. |

Funny thing is that the replacement bulbs are almost the same price as the new unit. |
