where do i get one?

also, where do i get the power cable that connects to the balast and plugs into the electrical outlet??

thanks
 
If there is a melted wire, that means that too much voltage/amperage was run through it. Unless the balasts have been replaced, I would NOT trust this fixture. The wire isn't the problem, it's a symptom of a _serious_ problem - as in "burn your house down" serious.
 
he said something about there was an "arch" so the electricity crossed somewhere.

so do you know where i can get a decent CHEAP balast? I would like it to be a 2x65 balast, but 96 is cool too, as the bulbs i got w/it arent new or anything lol.
