Hey everyone,
I have this old lamp from the 70's that was in a fire and my girlfriends dad has been using it for probably 10 years. The lamp from what I understand has always flickered and sometimes the bulbs would dim. So I decided I would try to rebuild it for him.
Well I have been searching the internet to try and find answers and how-to's and anything else I can find. but the one thing I am missing is where do I find replacement parts and how do I know that what I am getting is a suitable replacement.
What I have found so far is that there are two magnetic chokes that have this written on them:
UNIVERSAL
MFG. CORP.
CAT. NO. 201-D
15W 118V 60CY
and one possibly a capacitor with a 3.7Mohm resistor between the leads
with this written on the bottom:
C-800 AEROVOX
6139
I have tried searching for what is written on the parts but have had no luck finding more than just a manufacturer website for aerovox but the other numbers are either outdated part numbers or something else.
oh and the lamp uses 2x T8 bulbs
thanks for any help
