One arm bandit fluorescent tube lighting
I am new to penny machines and recently acquired an Aristocrat Arcadian.
Mechanism works fine but did not have power lead. I have since purchased a power lead which works and is getting power to the light box however lights aren't fully working.
I bought the new tubes and starter from amazon, see below:
Bulbs are flickering and sometimes only turn on when I touch them? Could this be wrong bulb or starter type? Any ideas?
Sorry have very little electrical/lighting experience!

Re: One arm bandit fluorescent tube lighting
You need series starters......the ones with FS on are no good, in fact as has been mentioned by one of our colleagues going to places like B&Q and maybe Amazon will not work unless you find the right type.
I buy St155 starters, not expensive rated from 4w to 22w
Welcome by the way

Re: One arm bandit fluorescent tube lighting
Thank you so much, new series starters arrived today and looks great!
Re: One arm bandit fluorescent tube lighting
What a nice looking Arcadian.
This is what yooser27's belly glass probably said, before the Decimalizers got to it.
Is yours still on tanners?

Takes old penny, but I am looking for a denominator as it’s missing. Any ideas where to get one?
Re: One arm bandit fluorescent tube lighting
It's on Old Penny, with a 5/- token.
That's a rare combination for British use. Perhaps it was popular in Australia?
I'm sure Powell's Automatics could find you a suitable badge; or you could make one up, just like the old Operators did.
