In my experience with fluorescent lights, what fails first and most often
are the ballasts. Once they fail, or start to fail, the start circuit that
fires the fluorescent gas in the tubes to make light don't fire.
Thus my suggestion to make the conversion to full LED assemblies and be
done with
That’s the thing I don’t know if the ballasts are good or not, except for the
ones that I have already replaced.

I bought direct wired LED 8’ lamps for mine. A bit expensive, and you have to
re-wire the fixtures, but it’s been six or seven years and they all work just
fine.
Mine are the old single pin type, probably 70 years old.
If yours are dual pin on each end, you can probably get drop in

The guy I bought my lathe and Ranalah English wheel from is trying to sell me a

most desirable but most expensive model, while the P5/2 or P6 is the most
common.
