Default Buzzing Fluorescent

I have a two-tube fluorescent desk lamp that buzzes too annoyingly to

Just chuck the whole thing out and buy another. You'll probably buy a
complete new lamp for the price of a new ballast. Even supposing they
are still available. (They're all electronic now).This the age of
consumerism. Stuff ain't made to be fixed. No-one wants to sell you
spare parts. Chinese kids work for next to nothing.
Your new lamp will be more efficient and prettier than the old one.
