Title: Help with Vendo 63 Ballast Replacement
Post by: JerryG on December 07, 2020, 10:02:04 pm
Hello everyone. I recently picked up a Vendo 63 and I am running into a problem replacing the ballast. With the new Phillips ballast, one of the wires is blue and the other is black. I basically replaced these wires with the ones I disconnected from the old ballast. I also replaced the bulb and starter. I get nothing. I checked the power to the light wire harness and I am getting full power. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Jerry

Please disregard my request.  Just because a light bulb is brand new doesn’t mean it works.  I did an ohms test and the bulb is bad.  New bulb and it lite right up.  Thank you.
