If
you
drop a
fluorescent tube and
it breaks
it
will
implode!
Shattered glass can fly 6
feet or
more
from the
implosion.
Use care
when
replacing any
fluorescent tube.
To
replace the speaker or the
white
fluorescent
tube
behind the
front graphics
attraction panel, fol-
low
this
procedure (see
Figure
14):
1.
Be
sure
the
game is unplugged
from the
wall
outlet.
Remove the four
Phillips-head screws
from
the
top
panel at
the back of the
game.
Grasp the handle and
slide out the
entire assem-
bly. The
fluorescent tube and
speaker harness
has
extra length, so you
can pull
it
out
about
seven inches. If
you need
to
unplug
it,
the
har-
ness
connector is
accessible from
the access
panel.
2. To replace the speaker, unplug
the two plug-in
connectors on the speaker. Unplug
the harness
and slide the wood board
out of the
game. Re-
move the hardware that
attaches the
speaker
to
the board. Replace the speaker,
reinstall
the
wood board and reconnect the
harness.
3. To replace
the fluorescent tube, remove
the
gray
cardboard locking
tab at each
end
of the
tube.
Slightly
rotate the tube up or
down,
and carefully
remove it from the lampholders.
4. Replace with
a
new
tube. Do not
snap
the tube
in vigorously—
you may
break
it, causing
an im-
plosion!
Replace the locking
tabs.
5. Check
that the green ground wire is
securely
at-
tached
to
the large metal bracket
and the ballast
transformer on
the wood panel. If the
tube
is
not
grounded,
it may not start.
6. Slide
the wood board back into
the game and re-
place the rear panel.
