Might try this then:

The Sola's are only about $42 each, and a better transformer IMO.

I've found that each Graybar seems to have different pricing. For instance, I purchased 2 MV Advance ballasts from the one in my town to run an Iwasaki 250. It only cost me $22 each. I've found in other cities the prices vary. I would think that sounds expensive. I believe ballasts with capacitors are more expensive though.

thanks guys,

i think its with the capacitors. my local graybar has them in stock. were looking at 140 if i buy them. thats almost the same cost as a PFO eye ballast. well i didn't include shipping but u know what i mean
