Sylvania 100w /DX MV Cold Startup

I've had two of these ballasts partially short out on me and turn into single lamp ballasts.

Old lighting is, and will always be, the best lighting.

Lights are awesome! :)

Is there a two letter date code by the ballast feet?

Power provider: Southern California Edison (SCE)

-Date decoder of some US lamps 1960-present.
-Switch and receptacle collector.
-I'll save any vintage lamp!

I have a pile of similar bonus line ballasts. A couple of mine have the same problem, only lights one lamp and increased line current.

I think the small capacitor is shorted that normally helps starting. The function of this capacitor can be seen occasionally when lamps do not want to start and one glows dimly.

Same here

Why can't we just use led retrofit instead of replacing the whole fixture.
