Ballast for LEE 2.5k HMI?

[jcarrig]

A mate of mine bought this old guy on a whim:

Any ideas on sourcing a ballast to work with it? Would a particular modern ballast made for similar 2.5k hmi's fit the bill? I am relatively fresh to HMI's.

Thanks for any help!

Probably run you around $1500 - $2000 for a used ballast with a bates connector.
