Some sort of fluorescent ballast that will revive contaminated / stale tubes. « on: January 31, 2016, 05:39:09 AM » Author: Danny
Hi all.

If anyone can help me here id appreciate it,

I am after a ballast that will take just about anything thrown at it, i have 4 contaminated F75T12 tubes and i need a ballast that might force them to light and clear up.  

Strange thing is, when i got these tubes last week, every single one of them lit perfectly, but when i tested them all the next day to make sure they worked before i put them away, 4 of them had gone bad over night!

So if anyone on here has a ballast (or advice?)  that could revive these tubes for me, please give me a shout, maybe we could do a trade or something?

Im hoping the ballast would hold out too so i can use it to run tubes properly at times as well!

Oh another thing, i nearly forgot, can anyone help with a ballast for Single Pin F72T12 CW 55w? Tubes? I have a couple of those too

Cheers
