Title: fluorescent light not working
Post by: Traneman on January 05, 2012, 02:22:48 AM
Hi I'm a new member and just acquired and Bally 809-zh.
this machine has been sitting in a shed for over 10 years.After reading all the posts here
I have gotten it to work pretty well.I went thru everything and cleaned, reoiled and got everything freed up.

The fluorescent lights are not working. Is there a way to test this.Not sure if its the tube,starter or transformer.

Also I need to get the GE 55 bulbs as well as GE 63a bulbs.

Is there a good source for these.

Thanks for any help you can give me.I'm a complete newb

I would try one of the other light starter that you know work on the light in question. If it doesn't light then it's usually the bulb. As for the #55 & #63 bulbs they can be bought throught Foxsslots listed on the home page here or at EBay

It ended up being both the bulb and starter. I ordered all the other bulbs from foxslot will be excited to get this
all lighted up.

Thank you.
