Title: Baby Pacman lighting help
Post by: Purity on May 08, 2013, 03:26:27 pm
I was wondering if someone with a Baby Pacman could take a picture of the ballast, and starter that is on there cabinet for the marque lighting? Also I'm interested in how this connects to the cabinet. I can see that it connects to a grey cable with 3 pins, but this has been cut on my cabinet so I don't know where it leads too. From looking at the schematics it looks like it goes via the monitor power somewhere but I cannot see where.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Ben

Ok I've worked out where the power comes from now :-)

Think so.  The monitor and ballast share power.  Looking at the monitor schematics the input is 120v.  Clearly the lighting has been directly wired to the mains as it's got a 220v ballast.  I think what should be there is a 120v 50hz 15w ballast, with a 15w 120v starter.
