Beer Sign

It's a T12; that's too bad because I have a bunch of 15" 15W CW T8 size bulbs that would physically fit, but the ballast is incompatible.

SO close!

I also noticed when opening it up that the starter 'can' is the one of the smallest I've seen.
It's diameter is about that of a dime.

Appreciate your trying to help.

Steve,

Next time the bulb goes, just get an LED strip light and put it in there instead, should work just as well.

I did it on my Donkey Kong machine years ago and it looks pretty good, although a longer strip would have been better.

I checked on Amazon for LED light strips and didn't see anything under 9ft long.
Or would a person just run it back and forth until it's all used?

Is that your DK machine? I spent many hours playing that on a full size one like that....and then on early Radio Shack computers. Fun game.

Hi Steve,

Some of the strips allow you to cut between “bulbs” to make whatever size you want. I think mine was just an under cabinet LED light fixture that I mounted in the game, so I was at the mercy of the size I found.

Yes, my Donkey Kong machine sitting in my living room- like you do! I also have the DK Junior boardset, which is installed now- they can be switched out in about 15 minutes.
