Need help from cavalier 55 owners

[Bob K]

Hi folks:
This inquiry goes out to all the owners of Cavalier 55 machines that have a lighted front sign.  My question:

Where do you find the replacement fluorescent tubes?  I've all but given up trying to locate one.  Mine takes a GE F7T5-CW that measures 10.5" from pin end to pin end.  It's 1/2" in diameter.  I cannot find one anywhere.

Can a fellow C55 owner please lend me a hand? '>   Anybody have a spare they'd be willing to part with?

Thanks all,
Bob

They are very attainable. Just go to your local lighting supply wholesaler and they will order it.

audiobeer, I tried everywhere - including a guy on the net that specializes in searching for discontinued bulbs.  Even he came up dry.  GE discontinued them years ago and there is no comparable version out there.  It was considered a custom bulb.

Come on, all you 55 owners out there, chime in please!!

Try giving TopBulb a call.  Here's their web site: http://www.topbulb.com/
They carry almost any kind of bulb known to mankind!  We use them at work and they ship out real quick and they have good prices.  They have a toll free number that you can call during the day - 866-TOP-BULB - if you give them the specs and the bulb number they may be able to find something that will work.
