Not easy to find, a genuine Tridonic 2' 40w ballast. GB Philips T12s are probably the best tubes ever made too, they just last forever!

I have seen some pretty epic banding on the GB Philips tubes. & yup, took me a few years to find one of those monolithic Tridonics. Mine is currently in a lightpack, but I think the heat from the tubes will eventually roast the turn buckle on the cover plate. I have a NOS 2 foot crompack, so I think that is where the 40w ballast will end up
