You bet it's Norelco! They made some really cool stuff back in the day!
Sylvania/GTE I'm guessing
Has a little shunt in the base of the bulbs so when they burn out it will theorectically keep the other bulbs lit...

I'm hazarding a guess it's a Motorola/Sylvania ballast?
Is much larger and heavier duty than the lightweight F32T8 electronic IS ones sold now at home improvement centers and even have .8 amp HPF ballasts, not LPF ones that run 40w lamps at 25w
