Could this be a bad ballast?
If it is , it's probably cheaper to get a new fixture. Newer fluorescent light ballasts don't seem to have nearly the life that older fixtures did, imo.

T12, fixture is probably 20 years old. If it has separate ballast, are they individually replaceable, usually?
If it is a T12 fixture it will defiantly have 2 separate 2 lamp ballast.. probably bad ballast.
Check ground
Check Sockets
Check Voltage
Then bad ballast.
If ballast is bad, go ahead and retrofit to T8, 4 lamp ballast. Doubtful you find a T12 ballast and T12 lamps will not be available much longer
