Title: I wish mine lit up Post by: bpoe1321 on May 08, 2012, 08:21:29 pm Here is a pic behind my front coke panel on my uss-8-64. If I can find the part, can I convert this one to have a light to light up the coke sign from behind? Obviously I will have to trade the solid coke panel for a tansparent one.
Title: Re: I wish mine lit up Post by: tkaz on May 08, 2012, 09:00:41 pm Here's the parts that you need for the light behind the sign: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270972133423#ht_500wt_922
You'll have to do some relocating of the starter and ballast that is in your machine now, the machines with light up signs have the starter and ballast located inside the coin door area. I can snap a pic of mine if you're interested to see it. As for the sign and frame, check out ebay or maybe someone on here has one for sale. The CSS-64 and USS-64 light assemblies are interchangeable. Title: Re: I wish mine lit up Post by: bpoe1321 on May 08, 2012, 09:11:51 pm So you're saying there's a chance.............. :biggrin:
Thanks, that would be great if you could snap a pic of yours. I already had that part from ebay on my watch list, but didn't want to get it, if there was some wierd difference and it was not possible to make mine lite up. Title: Re: I wish mine lit up Post by: tkaz on May 08, 2012, 09:31:06 pm The ballast for the door light is behind that metal panel on the top right of the coin door, and you can see the starter mount (minus the starter) just above it.

Title: Re: I wish mine lit up Post by: Roadman on May 09, 2012, 03:57:09 pm Is the light fluorescent and does the light also light up the area where you pull cans or bottles? I have a USS64 being restored. Just curious.
Title: Re: I wish mine lit up Post by: tkaz on May 09, 2012, 04:08:44 pm Yes, its a fluorescent light, and there are two of them, one that sits vertical on the inside of the bottle door, and the one you can see in the pic on the sign

Title: Re: I wish mine lit up Post by: bpoe1321 on May 15, 2012, 10:34:25 am Finished.
Now just have to find the correct panel and frame. Title: Re: I wish mine lit up Post by: MoonDawg on May 21, 2012, 12:01:07 pm I have the sign you need for the USS-8-64. $50.00 + shipping

Title: Re: I wish mine lit up Post by: bpoe1321 on May 30, 2012, 03:00:44 pm The pic makes it look like it is a little faded. But it's not. nice bright red and white transparent sign. Thanks.
