I have a two-tube fluorescent desk lamp that buzzes too annoyingly to
use, but it's a terrific lamp otherwise. ?Any ideas how to silence it?


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.


�And you'll be replacing it AGAIN in about 18 months- - - -

Yep!
