Just go over to a Gamma or similar and buy a 15W 43cm tube.
current line up: 3 x New Astro City 2x Atomiswave SD, 3 x Aero (2 NOS) and Aero Table

Re: New astro city fluorescent light replacement.
I've installed the light and it isn't working. Is there a switch or something? whats the chance of the fitting being dead?

Check if the starter is screwed in tight? I've had that too. It could be that they loosened it to stop the broken bulb from flickering.

Zit aan de TL armatuur naast de travo. Kun je niet missen. Lijkt op een klein lichtje.

If that's not it check the wiring.

Re: New astro city fluorescent light replacement.
Is there supposed to be something in the fitting next to the trafo? looks like a bulb fitting but it has nothing in it.

This is one from an Astro. The NAC is similar but hexagonal.

Re: New astro city fluorescent light replacement.
I've got a spare for a NAC, no good to me since I have an AC. Yours for the price of postage.

Re: New astro city fluorescent light replacement.
Hi, I am new to cabs too and I also got a New Astro recently with a busted light fixture. I haven't actually opened it up yet but does anyone know a site where the parts are relatively easily available?

Your cab is 15 years old so new parts will be very hard to come bybitkid wrote:Hi, I am new to cabs too and I also got a New Astro recently with a busted light fixture. I haven't actually opened it up yet but does anyone know a site where the parts are relatively easily available?
Your best bet is posting a wanted ad on these forums or trawling Yahoo Auctions Japan

Re: New astro city fluorescent light replacement.
You would very likely find a suitable tube in a DIY/Home Depot type place.I did for my NAC.Probably be able to find a complete new fitting also.If your's is busted just replace the lot

Re: New astro city fluorescent light replacement.
Thanks guys. I don't mind just building a new assembly if that is what I would need to do. I don't really need to find original parts since I'm just interested in playing on it and having fun, not restoring it at this moment (maybe later).

Re: New astro city fluorescent light replacement.
I fixed this in the end with a replacement tube from a DIY and a new fitting for the starter plus the right starter, works like a charm.
