Light up sign for a vendorlator

And....the lower deck/chassis

Ok here are a few more photos. No ballast but I did confirm that there are two wires to each post and the ninth wire is a ground.

I couldn’t wait to see what it was going to look like when done so I put the sign on my light table to get an idea of how it will look. The finished sign will look better (no crack in it), the bottom part will have more light on it and should stand out more.

Ok I have figured out the pin-out and thanks to JohnieG’s diagrams think I know how to hook it up. I still don’t know where to get all of the needed part for it. I need two starters, two ballasts, two 5” lamps and a 9-pin Jones plug. Any help on where to get all or part of these would be great. Thanks,
Steve

You should be able to get just about everything at the Home Depot, or Menards, etc. the ballasts run about $5/ea. the bulbs are about $6/ea. as for the male/female connectors, it is actually called a molex style & it may be obsolete, but any Radio Shack will have some in the round-pin molex style that will suite your needs, just make sure they are rated for 120 volts AC. your circuts with use around 1/2 an Amp, so 16 AWG (gauge) wire will do. here is a simplified wiring diagram, you will be using two of these circuts..pay attention to how the pins of the sockets are wired to the starter(s) or it won't light!...here you go.
