Shipping would be murder. If you don't need an electronic ballast, go to your local electrical supply store and get a magnetic ballast. There are 2 different types that most supply places carry. One is a "core & coil" ballast, which usually run about $30 or so. The other option is the "f-can" type. They look just like a flourescent bulb ballast, but the cost about $100. Either will work exactly the same.
