Hi Everyone,

Wondered if someone can help me with fitting a Ballast please to my Pin please..
Stern CSI, bought it last year and never came with the light tube and just a LED strip to light the translite. Fitted a new bulb turned it on it popped straight away which made me think it’s the Ballast.
Got a new 50/60HZ Ballast that has arrived and going to fit it today. Now my problem is I don’t know if this is wired right? Not sure if I just swap the two wires like for like as don’t know if it the wirings been done correctly in the first place.

I’ve added pictures from inside the back box, any help be much appreciated guys.

I might be over thinking it and just swap out the unit and cables, but I haven’t another Pin to check against

Guessing just a T8 tube as well as want to get right one case I bought wrong one

That’s correct the ballast will have gone that’s why you blew the tube immediately
I never bother just changing the tube in stern games if it doesn’t work 9 out of 10 times the ballast has gone
Just buy the lot from pinball heaven ballast tube and starter
 
Yeah got the full kit just before Xmas, just fitted it now and come straight on, thanks for the replies guys
