Title: light issue Post by: zadd on January 26, 2009, 06:06:16 pm I have a vendo 63 coke . That I have up and running, everything works and gets cold . Bottle light comes on , the change light comes on , changer works but when I put a new bulb in for the lighted sign it blew the bulb after quick flash of light . Checked all the wiring tried a different ballast and starter and a new bulb, same thing :darn: Any ideas ?

That is a sign of a bad ballast......happens all the time. Try a third one. Title: Re: light issue Post by: johnieG on January 26, 2009, 08:31:49 pm Yep, sounds like a bad ballast (again)
did you replace the old ballast with a NEW one, or an old/recycyled one from another sign??? Title: Re: light issue Post by: Pat Pixley on January 26, 2009, 08:53:08 pm Or you can do this it worked for me on my vernor's machine
Title: Re: light issue Post by: zadd on January 26, 2009, 09:11:17 pm No I used a recycled one from some parts machines . I had three light units out of vendo 63's and thought that one of them would work . :censored: Looks like another trip to Ace . :smile: So a bad ballast will blow a new bulb huh . I thought it just wouldn't light if it was bad ? I will try a new one and let you guy's know :hopefull: Thanks.
