I've engaged in the lamentable task or relamping a pair of altman satellites that I inherited with my position. After dealing with parts of the housing on one that were glued together, I've installed a new lamp, reconnected power, and attempted to turn on the unit. The fans power up, but the lamp just glows for a moment before dying. I can hear the striker going off, and while this post:

Suggests that that means the lamp is DOA, the fact that it emits a glow when running the striker, just not fully igniting, leads me to wonder if something else might be wrong.
This is entirely aside from the fact that the lamp housing on my other unit was riveted, not bolted, together.
There's also some question in my mind as to whether I should be posting this under Vintage Lighting.
