So if the ballast has been replaced with a solid state one, such as this:

Is an inrush limiter needed then? I have one that I made this ballast for and put in diodes to replace the seleniums, and when I powered it up, the 30 ohm 5w resistor started to smoke. Before I replaced the seleniums, it ran, but the sync lock in all directions was wonky and the picture was washed out.
