Cavalier USS-8-64 Marque light

[jlorey]

Can anyone send me a picture of what the marquee light should look likes when it works correctly?

I pulled the cover off and it has a ballast but no light fixture. Thanks in advance.

  do you mean it has no marque sign installed in the light-box?  like just the electrical guts/ballast/no bulb?

Welcome to the board. I post a couple of pics Sun. Can't get the shop right now.

It has the sign, but it is missing the guts (bulb, connections for bulb, etc.)

Take a look at this thread, it should have what you are looking for: http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php/topic,15058.0.html

Here is the light assembly that you need: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DRINK-Coca-Cola-bottle-machine-SIGN-BACK-LIGHT-UP-For-Cavalier-CSS-64G-/280840920608?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41636c5e20

I didn't realize it wasn't made to light up. I have a Vendo HA63C and assumed it was the same. Thanks for clearing it up.

I tagged a picture from the prior link/discussion to help people get a visual on the subject, so then , yes, your machine has a solid-steel painted Coke sign & the wiring you see is for the bottle door florescent lamp behind it then.

Now you could make it a "lightup model" by obtaining a plastic marquee sign & mounting frame to replace the steel sign and then you could add an 12" "under the kitchen counter" style of florescent lighting fixture & tap into the 120 volts that feeds the bottle door lamp. the hardest part is locating the proper sign & frame, the wiring would be pretty basic from there on out.
