I've read through lots of posts here about lighting the marquee. I've seen tons of links to replacement ballasts, but those are all a few years old and the links are dead.
I have a TMNT game with the fluorescent light fixture, but it's not working. Initially the light did not power on. I didn't know much about these types of lights at the time so I just bought a replacement bulb. When that didn't work either I came here to find more information. It had an FS-25 starter in it, after reading more about it I replaced that with a new FS-2 starter. I turned it on and the bulb blew.
From my understanding, this would indicate the ballast is bad. I have read you can test the ballast to make sure the ohm reading is correct (not sure what it's supposed to be), but I haven't had a chance to do that yet.
If I need to replace the ballast, where can I find one that will work for what I need?
The ones I'm seeing now are kind of pricey compared to what people were saying they used to cost a few years ago.
