Title: Tech: bally 873-ZA fluorescent lighting issue
Post by: 04barb on January 16, 2022, 04:57:19 PM

HI,

I'm trying to get the fluorescent light on the reel glass to turn on. I have replaced the light and also the starter. Can anyone point me in the right direction or let me know how I can test for power? The two fluorescent lights in the belly glass work as they should. I have also cleaned the two connectors plugs on the door.

Thanks

Start by checking the ballast for that light.

Thanks for the reply.  It was a busted red wire with yellow tracer. I had no continuity from ballast to the plug so I wan a new wire.
