Problem after installing fluorescent tube rockola 444
I have checked the fuses and replaced the ballasts. When I changed the tube, it came on for a second then went off. It won’t take a selection now and is dark. Sent from my iPhone
Did you check the fuses with a meter or with your eye ? Have you tried rotating the tube ? You don't mention the tube starter, did you change that ? Pop out a pin on the selection drum on the right hand side. Does the carousel spin and play if you do that ? Nigel, uk

If you have miswired or shorted the ballast the lamp may blow immediately and possibly take out a fuse. On Tue, Aug 4, 2026 at 3:32 AM Nigel Pugh via Jukebox-list < jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com> wrote:
