Title: 120V fast start neon ballast
Post by: vernimark on January 07, 2016, 02:16:22 PM

My head on marquee neon doesn't work. Seems to be the ballast

do you have one that operates with 120v?

Jukebox World has a selection of 120v ballasts, e.g. here:

They're not the cheapest option, but very reliable. Hope this helps!

PS.: If they don't ship to Italy, send a PM.

That price is crazy.

These are used but at an unbeatable price:

However these are all conventional and not fast starting. If you want fast start I guess you want an electronic (switching) ballast.

I found what I was looking for, but shipping costs are too high

do you think powering the ballast with 120v instead of 110v can destroy my cab??
