[Jukebox-list] Bulbs Humming?

[Jjmscf at aol.com]

Probably onme of the flourescent ballasts as was suggested.Flourescent  tubes 
don't hum.To determine which one you can remove one flourescent tube at a  
time and the ballast feeding that flourescent tube is the culprit.They get loose 
 laminations with age.You think that one's bad,you should hear the ballast in 
the  overhead light in the "junk room"(storage room) at the tv shop I work 
at.The  shop's been there since the 30s and the light fixture is probably from 
the early  60s.Most of the others have either had the ballast replaced or the 
whole light  replaced.After it's been on about a minute it starts humming real 
loud.Makes you  hurry up and find what you are looking for and get out of 
there....lol.
 
Also does the hum go away after you use up the credits?My 222 latch  solenoid 
hums once in a blue moon.After I use up the credits it stops and the  next 
time it doesn't hum.
