So of course I purchase and install a new lamp (circline fluorescent) and nada.
Hmm. Check my old lamp with another fluorescent fixture in another room and of course it's working.
Pull down the ballast out of the hobby light and find a swollen 200v 22uf cap. There are two of them but the second isn't too bad looking.
Bust open a burnt cfl bulb I had around and harvest two 200v 15uf caps (it's all I had!) and unit functions again.
