I took off the Marquee to get to the fluorescent fixture and I cant find a STARTER anywhere in there. Is there just not one for this fixture? Thanks. Mike
 
Take a picture of the ballast. It could of been changed out.
I have seen before that the starter was not in a can. The starter was taped up in circuit.

My bad...





Never seen these little bulbs inside a fluorescent housing before:

That last picture is your starter.

at that juncture I would just replace the whole thing. I've done it enough times. :)

Is it necessary to replace the whole thing? Is it a possible fire hazard or something? Im going to go buy a new bulb and see if it works.
 
if your starter is jacked up it'll just eat the bulb up. I've observed this even on brand new games at work! beyond that, lots of luck finding that replacement.
 
My Walmart still stocks the complete 18" fixture & bulb for around $8.

Cut off the plug, wire it to original wire, pop the light cover off, secure to cabinet.

What he has is a normal starter, it is just missing the outer shell. Just buy the proper starter and remove the can and tape it up.
