Neither of my machines had working marquees and I had replaced bulbs and starters on both with no luck. Turns out it was the magnetic ballast that had gone bad on both of them. Strange because I did not know those could go bad. Seems new regulations have made them obsolete, but I was lucky enough to find two at home depot. Seems many folks just put a cheap florescent fixture in there instead or repairing with the same parts because of that. It looks really good on both of them.
Baby pacman had the ballast on the back but it came out easy to be worked on
