| Fluorescent Light Question - light not working - ***SOLVED*** |
| (1/2) > >> |
| cmoses:
I am trying to get my fluorescent light in my cabinet working and saw a post in another thread describing how this was done. In looking at the picture I realized that my light appears to be missing something. The silver cylinder in the picture below is not present on my light (circled in red). I am not very familiar with arcade cabinet fluorescent lights, can someone tell me what this part is. It appears to be replaceable. I am guessing that it is a fuse or resistor of some sort. Will a light store carry this piece or where can I get a replacement. If anyone has a part number that is even better. Thanks for any assistance. |

Its a ballast |
| cmoses:
Thanks, how easy are they to replace, where can I buy them, is there a specific one for this light? It came out of a Mortal Kombat II cabinet. |
| HaRuMaN:
ahh more spefically, it looks like the starter portion of the ballast. I'm not sure where to get them, I just know what they're called. |

Yea, that's called a 'starter'. You can buy them at pretty much any hardware store, and they only cost a few bucks. They have different ones for different bulb wattages. Make sure you get the one that matches your bulb. |
