Anyone know where to get PFO parts?

Are you comming over for the reef tour next week? I have no idea what they are worth but I am sure we can work out a deal for you.

Bwahahaha, somehow I figured you'd say that

Yep I'm coming over for the meeting next weekend. They go for about $7-$15US on various websites I've checked out (all listed as "item temporarily unavailable") but in light of PFO GFO I would imagine they're worth much more these days to those that need them

Can't you just cut the ends and connect them using good old solder?

The problem is in order to connect them to the ballast you need some funky plug, I don't have that plug and they're not sold anymore since PFO went under or whatever happened to them.

Oh you can't just open the ballast and make direct connections? Well maybe not as safely huh?

Yeah likely I could have made it work ok ok, my dad is an electrician so he could have made it work but it would have been fugly.

Message to all things fugly then..."not today bitches". You guys have a pretty supportive network over there.

I will double check what I have tomorrow but I am sure I have 4 of them in my spare parts box.

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

God I can't believe how horrifying it was to find that I had a very heavy paperweight sitting in my basement with no way of connecting it to my lights. I suppose ultimately I could have ripped it apart and made it work somehow but this my first pretty ballast ever and it would have been so sad to tear it apart
