I have a Denver Duck Reel Touch and the light went out behind the Reel Glass.

I figured no big deal and went and bought a new fluorescent bulb and put it in.

I turned on the machine and the light came on but it seemed brighter then usual and the light seemed to

be swirling around inside the tube. After a couple minutes the light went out and only the ends of the tube

seemed to light up. I shut off the machine then turned it back on again and the light lit up but it did the same thing again.

OK so now i figure the ballast must have a problem so I replaced it and it still does the same thing so now I am running

the machine with the bulb removed behind the reel glass.

Any ideas?????

Try a new bulb with the new ballast. Might have damaged the new bulb with the old ballast

When the gas in the lamp swirls around like that it usually means that there is air inside the lamp. Bad lamp. New doesn't always mean good. Everything is made so cheap today.
(off topic) Did your Duck come with nice strips, I've been looking for about a year for strips with NO luck, and mine look like they were baking in the sun for a year.

Ok I will buy a new bulb and try it.

As far as my reel strips when I got the kit it came with brand new reproduction strips.

The strips look fine. My only problem is my machine has 2 inch wide reels and the reel glass

I got is for 2 1/2 inch wide reels so the reels dont line up in the glass. Therefore I have been running

the old Bucks Ahoy reel glass in it. Last time I posted about this nobody had the correct reel glass.

Anyone?????

The Duck is defiantly a tough bird to find anything new or gently used for. (pun intended), but I keep looking.

Well OK I bought a NEW bulb and installed it and now the light is working fine.

I guess the Old new bulb was bad or the Old ballast somehow ruined the bulb.

Anyway thanks for everyones help.
