Title: Cavalier cs80-e parts needed
Post by: on July 18, 2002, 03:24:58 pm
I have a Cavaluer CS80-E and the only problem with it is its missing the Electric Sign parts...not the cover of the sign that says "Coca-Cola" but the parts that go behind it such as the fluorecent lamp and all the parts that go with it. I have tried funtronics but he could not help me with those parts  :(  If any one has these parts or knows where i could get them please reply.

Thank You for your help

what is the size (height x width) of your sign? and was it originally a light-up? with the wiring harness in place for the fluorecent light? I can probably come up with enough parts (lamp sockets, ballast, etc.) if it's already pre-wired for an electric sign... let me know ...JohnieG

Would a Cav. cs 64 work those two machines shared some
parts. the  width is the same  and the depth is to.

the lamp/ballast assembly and wiring harness off of a c64 will fit. but I'm not sure about the inside frame (I'm assuming you already have the outside frame & sign), but you can transfer the lamp sockets, ballast, and wiring to a piece of sheet metal cut to fit,(painted flat white) and attach to the machine, then reinstall the sign/frame assy. this is how I usally get around the missing electric's/light problem the toughest part is matching the "plug" that goes into the machines socket/harness.
