120v 50 Hz Tube ballast

[karlcdoe]

Right, I only have 60Hz ballast left (incorrectly supplied by Suzo many years ago) and I've tried a couple and they overheat and die so I guess I need 50Hz/beefed up versions. Where's a good source of relativley cheap replacements? Like an electrical wholesaler or something?

Cheers

I've been looking for them myself for ages. My local electrical wholesaler drew a blank. Brent leisure has them listed but after trying to order they found they were out of stock and had been for a year. They are trying to source some more but I don't hold out much hope. Will let you know what they say next week...

Okay, thanks for that. I guess I'll eventually just loose my patience and re-wire for 240v where necessary although it's usually surpsingly hard to do without messing up the loom and you'd probably need to order a different set of connectors per manufacturer/cab even if you can cleanly splice the switched mains input... oh well. LMK.
