Do you want to try to DIY a replacement ballast or repair/replace the ballast module you have?
Odyssea is an import fixture and finding replacement parts for it may be difficult. You may be better off just retrofitting a new ballast into your ballast's enclosure or buy/build a whole new enclosure. There are certainly ballasts available that drive your lamps, but what I don't know is if it'll fit into what you have.

If you go to Fulham's web site, they have a little tool right on the main page. You select what quantity and type of lamps you have, and it'll spit out the exact workhorse model and the wiring diagram needed to hook it up.

Just beware that is entirely possible that the replacement ballast will not fit inside the enclosure. Ballasts often do not have any standard form factor. You may need to do a little DIYing, but nothing is impossible.
