I like it! Very uniform looking.
    Look in your phone book under "specialty lighting" for the bulb.

found them, they keep them in stock at this little light store, they are 10 bucks each though.  when i put the light in, it kinda flickered then went out.  i wonder if it is the ballast?  i took the ballast out and looked at it but i don't think you can tell when they are fried just by looking at them, so it's off to Lowe's to see if they have one.  just hope i didn't blow the brand new bulb that i just bought today.  thanx for the compliments on the machine.  that mug on top is full of quarters!!:D

A bad ballast will blow a new bulb, but you would see a bright flash first.  Pick up a new starter, that will make it flicker then go off.

*Edit* Glen was typing at the same time and did a better job :-) Does the wiring look ok?

well that figures, i was born and raised in Batesville Indiana!  POP IT IS!!  I have not checked the wiring but i got a new starter and it still does not fire up...how can you test a ballast to see if it is any good?
