Thank you very much. If you pull out the ballast and transformer and replace it, you will not loose too much weight,because the electronic ballast is pretty heavy as well and the cost are very high for such old lamps. For those who still use it every day, an electronic ballast will reduce lamp costs.
If someone thinks of replacing it, there is the "turbo conversion kit" available. (edit: that kit doesn't contain a new ballast) I think, it contains an electronic ballast,too. ( edit: No, it doesn't!) That produces much more light output as well.
