Summary: Tracing table is broken, need ideas and cost expectations for fixing it

There’s a large, white light table in the craft room. It’s sitting on a shelf of the long arm quilting machine

Please figure out what it takes to repair, and respond to this post with a description and rough estimated cost. Feel free to also cost out a new one of a similar size for cost comparison

I’ll try to make it in this weekend and have a look. That shouldn’t stop anyone else from doing the same.

I looked at the light table. Wonderful size! I opened it up and believe it to be a basket case. There are florescent tubes with no place to mount them, curved LED strips that not hooked up to anything, and wires and a random transformer.  
All in all, great bones to work from, but the guts need to be completely reworked.
