Starters are rated by the lamp wattage, (listed on the starters can)

Good hunting.

Well my memory was both right and wrong.  Menard's was the wrong store but I did see the switches at a different store.  Only problem is that it is out of town.  Called them and they say they have 5 in stock.  I asked them to hold them for me as I will be going through there next week.  They are 4-wire switches, with two black wires, two blue wires.  I will probably keep one but let me know if anyone out there wants any of the others.  They said they were $9.49 each, which sounds a little high, but if you can't get them anymore I guess a couple bucks is no big deal.

Another thing to consider...
When replacing a ballast with n electronic version, you do not need a four wire/pigtail switch, only two wires are needed for the circuit.

the ballast that funtronics sells requires the 4 wire switch... if someone has a source for a different ballast that can accomodate a two wire I'd be interested to know.
and that two wire switch is it just a toggle style like on and off or some thing different.

Thanks
