21$ ballast

[Pamela]

I saw a thread titled metal halide lighting for 100$. They used a ballast from advance 71a3802-600 for 26$. I had our shop manager call graybar and he can get them for 21$. The article was pretty convincing to me that it will work. You think this is one of those two good to be true deals? Pamela http://aquarium.union.rpi.edu/articles/DIY_MH.html :?:

AJ, it works perfectly for me, although it takes a little long to load. Try hitting refresh and it should work :D

The link says "*.htm1" where it should say "*.html" there is a 1 where there should be an L. How'd you get that to work?

You guys put a smile on my face tonight, I was sure hoping ya'll would come back with good news :lol: , as far as the site sorry about that, first time I tried it and ya'll have to bear with me as I'm new to computors as well as typing. Don't even want to tell ya'll how long it took me to type that address let alone trying to find those what ever you call them! Pamela
