I just received a new dispenser that has a light up sign and is made by Vendorlator. Unfortunately it looks like it is missing some parts. I have not done any work on light up signs before and am hoping some one here is an expert and can help me get this one working again. I will try and post some pictures in the next few days. In the mean time if anyone has anything specific that I should start looking at please let me know and I will post more details with the pictures. Thanks,
Steve

Hey
There should be a simple ballest somewhere, maybe a starter & then new bulbs should have you rolling.

Steve,
Looks like you are missing the connection to a power source correct? If you want to keep the orginal wiring, first thing will be to use a multimeter to find what wire goes where from the 9 pin connector.

I don’t see any place the ballast would fit. Is it possible that the ballast and starter could have been mount under the counter and connected thru the 9-pin connecter? Where would I be able to pick up the needed parts for this? The bulbs are about 5” long. Thanks,
Steve

Pull the four screws holding the lamp assembly and lets take a peek at the backside.

it is possible that the ballast is mounted remotely, under the counter area, which would account for the large no. of wires comming up to the sockets, have you sneaked a peek under the reflector yet? ( could be hiding underneath maybe) here's a diagram of a typical "pre-heat" lamp circut ( a sign that uses a starter to light the lamps)....you may have two individual circuts here though (one for each lamp)...so, going with the "remote" ballast(s) theory, you should have about eight wires (two per/socket) running under the reflector down to the ballast(s)..see the diagram below.

This is only an Example of what I'm kinda getting at,
YOURS will be wired differently! ( I'm only guessing at the pinout of the connectors)
