Tron is Smokin! No, Literally!

Last night I installed a blacklight bulb in Tron in the fixture above the
cp. First time the bub was in there for years. Played / worked fine last
night.

This morning I turn it on, all is well, while I am playing I start to smell
something pretty acrid, something smoking in the cabinet. I turn it off,
look in the back can't find anything at all, start to think it was something
else from outside (near a window).

Try again, blacklight is out. After checking with another fixture the bulb
is fried. Tonight I try another, turn on the game and I get a brief
flicker, then nothing...on the whole game. No sound, picture, lights, hum,
nothing.

Test the bulb, it's shot.

I assume I blew a fuse somewhere and will check them, then diconnect the
fixture and try again to make sure it is the fixture and or not something else.
