VMC 81 fluorescent tube

[Kilroy]

Does anyone have the  correct size for the fluorescent tube in the door  of a VMC-81?

And should there have been a Plexiglas or plastic cover  over it?

Thanks!

I don't know the tube size, wattage or length, but I think I still have a piece of the plastic frosted cover that goes over the light on your Faygo from when I owned it.

If I can find it, it will show you the width of the frosted plastic piece and you can get one cut to length.  Or funtronics may sell the correctly sized piece.

I am pretty sure it is a 13 watt bulb.  I just picked one up last week and have it at home.  I will look tonight and see if I can get you a mfg and model number.

I don't have the measurements of the bulb but I buy the at my local Menards ... the Cover piece that goes over it was origianlly a ribbed peice of Frosted Glass,, Funtronics sells a replacment peice of frosted glass that is cut to size.

Here's the bulb.  And the dimensions on the ribbed glass cover is 1-1/8" wide by 22-5/8" long
