Well the ballast search didn’t pan out so I started experimenting. Currently I have a 25 watt 50 ohm resistor and (2) 120 ohm 2 watts in parallel with the pilots. Without current limiting upon power up it blows the lamps. If I power with the dim bulb, the lamps survive and dim slightly once the tubes are conducting. Getting closer but I’m out of lamps and wondering if b+ will start to suffer if I keep increasing the parallel resistors. Is there another way to quash the inrush that’s eating bulbs?
