http://www.prolighting.com/ is another good place to get any parts for a mag ballast.
T5ho, T8, T12, all pparst or full fixtures
I get myT5 HO ballasts there,
they even carry the little bipin sockets for T5 bulbs to plug-n-twist into, they're always screwing up and impossible to find locally.
and cheap, I priced them locally @$6
PL sells em for $1.50

Once you're on a site... 'Howard' makes decently priced hardware for ballasts. No complaints here.

Keep it Clean! :D

Howard is a brand name, like GE, Magnetek, Venture, or Sola. Some are US made, some aren't, obviously.

I can't really speak to the quality of any of them. Ballasts w/ ignitors are preferred, I think, because they'll fire both pulse & probe start lamps. Ballasts w/o ignitors will not fire pulse start MH lamps.
