That is easy to deal with. Assuming the ballast uses a standard (presumably octal) tube base/socket just get another base socket pair of that type, and if your other chassis has a good ballast make a socket extender/breakout adapter with the extra base/socket pair to allow you to insert a current meter in series with each resistor such that you don't have to disturb the original wiring.
