The FS-2 start on one of my florescent lights is real "wiggly" resulting in the light not turning on until I open the coin door, reach up and jiggle it...then it stutters to life and stays lit. I know these are like super cheap to replace - but I'm wondering if the "socket" it goes in to, could be worn/bent - any thing I can bend to tighten it, or just replace the starter?
 
You should be able to bend the contacts to make a better connection. of course replacing the socket is the better option.
 
New socket is $1.25 from Bob...
