Luckily the sign has 2 lamps with seperate ballasts & one gives off plenty of light. Its a "Diet Like" sign from the 60s. I think I have a spare ballast now, but back when I got this I had less stuff in the junkbox & was even dumber than I am now!
The next time Kim gets to whining about the Samsung whining I'll poke around & see if I can shut it up...
