I can not believe that we could help you get one any faster than your local supply house!?

I am having a hard time picturing what would make it hard to rewire.

 

[barbeer]

Secondly, where the heck are you, always helpful information to have!

what is the problem with rewireing the fixture. it shouldnt be much more work than swapping a ballast in my experience unless theres something im missing

If it's a deli case or frozen food case, something along those lines, rewiring can be a real "treat" since the ballasts are remote mounted.

. . . I cannot easily rewire the the fixture ballast is remote.

I thought any tube socket could be converted for electronic ballasts by simply tying both wires together. :-?

maybe I'm not thinking remote ballast currently has black white,1 red 1 blue lead. New electronic equivalent has black,white, 2 blues and a red so am I missing something how do you rewire in a fridge case without it being a hassle ?

I don't think your missing anything, I think the others are.

Did you check out the advance numbers I provided?

we also used Howard in the past, but I believe they are out of business...You can try Anthony International...they suck to deal with, but they manufacture cases. They are out of California...

Is this what you need, seems like the right one and looks brand new

looks like a standard 8' 2 lamp ballast to me, don't know the temp rating either

Haha I found two first I found and ordered one online for $95 with shipping then I found one in lowes for $30 I already quoted the customer $95 .So must make an ethical decision on how much to charge him.
