I have replaced the lamps inside the top of my round top Bally machine, one of the lights came on when I played with the lamp starter, but the other light would not come on until I switched the starter to that light, is there an easy way to get new lamp starters?

For my next project I was going to play around with changing my S+ ballast/starters to the S2000 electronic type. Yes I know they use a different voltage.  stir the pot / get cooking

WHY ??????  Because you can !!  Damn things cost about 10 bucks each.   And what's the final outcome, thay make the fluorecent light tube light up, same as the old style starter !!

I had to replace one ballast already because it buzzed so loud and a few others are getting louder. And most of my lamps (all new) sometimes take quite a while to start (but it's not the starters).

But yes, just like many of my other projects - 'just because'.  Nerd

There is a lot of 10 on e-bay for $20, so it's not that expensive.
