Old 8’ single pin fluorescent fixtures - noise and start?

I don’t have the wiring diagram on it, and none of the drawings online are anything like it. Strangely, there is no starter under there. It’s directly wired. Maybe the starter is built into the ballast??

Single-pin T12 bulbs don't need and can't use a starter because they are designed to be used with instant start ballasts.

It lives!!

The main wire is cracked and it switches the neutral, not the hot/black wire. So I think a rewire of that is in order too.

I wrapped the cracking insulation and will unplug it when I’m gone, until I can rewire with some proper conductor.
