Title: Where to find S+ ballast Post by: poppo on March 10, 2011, 11:38:52 PM The reel lamp ballast on one of my machines is humming pretty good. I thought this would be an easy item to find, but it seems like all I see are the ones for S2000. Anyone know where to find these?
<edit> Never mind. Found them. Title: Re: Where to find S+ ballast Post by: brichter on March 11, 2011, 03:11:26 AM Well, post up the source! :89-
I may need one in the future... :103- Title: Re: Where to find S+ ballast Post by: poppo on March 11, 2011, 03:30:49 AM Well, post up the source! :89- I may need one in the future... :103- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350443806692 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350443806692) http://www.buyslotparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=38&products_id=121 (http://www.buyslotparts.com/product_info.php?cPath=38&products_id=121) http://www.ohiogaming.com/ballaststarterassembly.htm (http://www.ohiogaming.com/ballaststarterassembly.htm) Basically any 115vac ballast that will work with with a F15T8 bulb will do. I bought a couple of the e-bay ones.

This for a S+ they are 115vac ballasts. Title: Re: Where to find S+ ballast Post by: jay on March 11, 2011, 05:35:59 AM It might not be the ballest. The S+ floresents use starters. These look like a big capaciter. PRess down and twist to remove.
You can pick them up at Home Depot in 2 packs for $4.00 Title: Re: Where to find S+ ballast Post by: poppo on March 11, 2011, 11:49:22 AM It might not be the ballest. The S+ floresents use starters.

Actually once the lamp is lit you can take the starter out and the light will will stay on. Title: Re: Where to find S+ ballast Post by: knagl on March 11, 2011, 01:19:12 PM I had an S+ a while back with a ballast that was loud as hell from Worldwide Gaming. I had to drive back out there to get a replacement, as the auction said that the machine had been refurbed and was ready to go into a game room/basement/etc. I don't know how many game rooms/basements want a loud electrical buzzing noise in them.

PRess down and twist to remove. You can pick them up at Home Depot in 2 packs for $4.00 I had to switch out a burned-out flickering fluorescent bulb one morning from a belly door panel. I must have been a little sleepy :294- or something because all I did was open the door, and turn the starter. Well, the black plastic piece on the bottom had must of been heat-rotted and cracked in half. The wires inside of the starter twisted and touched together...... Picture this...>>> One hand on top of the door and one hand on the starter - while sitting in a chair. After? :72- The Pelco security cameras captured my body hurtling the chair across the game room floor and smashing a belly glass in another aisle! Needless to say, I was now WIDE AWAKE....lol Title: Re: Where to find S+ ballast Post by: jay on March 11, 2011, 04:17:40 PM I don't know......
In some thread I read earlier this week BUZZ said that he had 16 slots plugged into a single amp breaker. If this isn't making a loud electrical noise, it will likely be making a loud Snap (breaker popping) or a cracking noise (fire). You just got to figure he got the handle BUZZ from some place........ :72- Title: Re: Where to find S+ ballast Post by: poppo on March 19, 2011, 05:49:57 PM FWIW, I got ballasts, and now all is quiet again. :71-
