Does anyone know where I can buy new ballasts for my 48in 6 bulb tek light?

Just do a search for Fulham workhorse ballasts online and you will find places that sell them. I think champion lighting sells them but I believe there are sites that sell them cheaper.
I think I bought a workhorse 7 to run 4 bulbs and a workhorse 5 to run 2 bulbs. Don't quote me on that because its been a few years since I last replaced the ballasts in my tek light.

I did find those and not too expensive. Are they easy to install like will I need to solder?

They are pretty easy to wire. Here is a list of Fulham ballasts, see page 4, http://www.1000bulbs.com/pdf/Fulham-Lamp-Chart-brochure.pdf. Looks like you will need a Workhorse 7 to power 4 bulbs or a Workhorse 8 to power 3 bulbs. Wiring diagrams can be found here, http://horse.fulham.com/customer-service/wiring-diagrams/, and should also come with the ballast in paper form.
I never replaced my sockets. The only thing i could suggest is that if you plan to keep this light for a long time I would suggest mounting the ballast outside of the fixture if possible. That way if a ballast ever needs to be replaced again you will not have to take apart the entire fixture.

Good luck. Just get some wire nuts and electrical tape and you will be all set.
