Default How to replace 2-pin fluorescent base socket in overhead bathroomfixture

I have a very old overhead bathroom light fixture that includes two
2-pin fluorescent bulbs (or do you call them tubes?).

When one bulb burned out, I tried to pull it out of its base socket. But
that base was so old that it literally cracked off the light fixture.
Now it's broken and can't be reattached to the light fixture.

How do you replace one of those? Do I have to replace the ballast as
well? (The other 2-pin bulb is working fine, so I know the ballast is OK.)
