Title: Marquee flouresent tube supplier?
Post by: Meet and Greet on July 24, 2004, 06:40:18 am

I am looking for a replacement tube for a Sega Aero City cabinet.

Are there any online suppliers of tubes as I prefer to not to replace the strip unit.

Length of tube is 430mm ( 17 inch ) x 25mm ( 1 inch ) made by Toshiba

If there is some sort of part number on the tube I would suggest using google to search for the part number.

The part number is unfortunatly missing due to the tube being broken at just the wrong point.

All commercial arcade Jamma/A.M.O.A. compliant cabinets are standardized on the "F15T8CW" fluorescent lamp. That's probably what your lamp is and is a common lamp at any hardware store.

Thanks Ken, I will see if any of my local DIY stores can help, though here in the UK the range is more limited.
