Alice and the magic mirror slot screen dim
« on: February 06, 2024, 01:50:33 pm »
Hey team!  I’ve got an Alice Magic Mirror 5 reel transmissive screen machine.  The top of the screen is fine but the bottom is really dim.  Is there an easy fix? Replace a backlight or something on the Krystal screen?   :thank_you:

I do NOT have good news for you.
Either a fluorescent tube or inverter ballast is dying, died, or dead.
All of which next to impossible to find, solely because of age.
They just don't make that stuff anymore.
Your best bet to to find another one, and swap it out.
There's absolutely no way to tell how long it will last...they're like lightbulbs....and light bulbs don't last forever.
Otherwise you'll have to take it apart completely, and try to find needles in the proverbial haystack.

Just if anyone digs this up. I replaced a lamp in a 5 reel transmissive with this. It took minimal trimming of the lamp ends rubber to get it to find correctly.

22" LG LM220WE1-TLP2

Was $32 when I bought one on CCFL Warehouse Plazmo... If still here...

It's just a typo I'm sure bigj, but what did you mean by " to get it to find correctly." ?

You are all over me Stayouttadabunker. The little rubber end caps that hold the two tubes together were a little wider/thicker than what was originally in my screen. Not the length. I guess you could say the vertical. I just trimmed them down with a razor blade to get them to fit in there. Wish I had taken a picture of the project as it was no fun, but much cheaper than another monitor.

Found a picture of the tube I installed. You can see all the extra nubs on the sides and the original tubes were almost touching each other, so I pretty much had to cut the rubber down to the tube to get them to fit in. It was not a big deal and has been running fine for a year. I think the best thing to do would be to convert it to LED.
