World of Nintendo Fiber Optic Sign
Never thought I'd own one of these, but yesterday I picked one up locally through Craigslist! I saw the listing about 30 minutes after he posted it, and met him within the hour. It's in fairly good condition, but for some reason there are two plugs. One plug runs the motor, and one plug runs the lamp. Does anyone know if this is common? The plug works for the motor; I put a flashlight behind it and the sign looks awesome! But, as you can see from the picture, the lamp needs to be replaced. My initial thought was to take it to Batteries + Bulbs, and have them replace the lamp and plug. But, it seems like it would make more sense if there was a single plug for both the lamp and the motor. Does anyone have suggestions? Also, is there a particular lamp that I should be looking for?
Thanks in advance! After it's cleaned up and working, I'll post a picture of it with my collection.
I'm holding the plug for the motor, which works. The plug for the lamp is split, and obviously needs replacement.

There should only be one plug coming out of the unit to plug into the wall. If the motor/lamp required a seperate plug, it must have been inside of the unit already. The lamp is this type, so if you need to replace the light fixture, it needs to drive this type of lamp.
