I was changing the marqee lights in my battlezone. I noticed it had 2 fluorescent tubes, one cool white F15T8, and the blacklight F15T8BL.
The F15T8BL blacklight bulb that came out of it was all white in color, and looked like a normal fluorescent bulb, but it said "blacklight" on it.
The one I got at home depot was a F15T8BLB, a real black light fluorescent bulb. Looked the same but jet black in color (like the ones at the old Spencer Gift Stores!). The white colored fluorescent bulb that came out of it was desiginated BL (blacklight), the black colored fluorescent bulb I bought was desiginated BLB. Which one does Atari Battlezone use, a real black light bulb dark in color, or this all white colored normal looking bulb labeled "blacklight'?
I was also going to clean the mirror while inside. What should one use as a cleaner as not to mess up the sliver coated side? The silver side is coated with dirt.
Thanks
