I’m trying to get an old beer sign light to work. It has a small 9 inch tube. There was no starter, so I bought and tried a FS-5. It immediately blew the bulb. I think I must have the wrong type of starter

Hi @jsanger
Some interesting Read

Would be great if you can share more pictures.
Else another suggestion, to modify the current lighting to use LED modules.
If you use LED, you can remove away the ballast, if you had tested the ballast has failed, so as the starter.
Just for your reference.

This beer sign light does not have a ballast, just a starter. How do I share a picture

So it turns out that some form of a ballast or something else is in the power cord. Again this is a very old beer sign so it likely is not the way they do it now
