[R-390] Another ballast tube replacement

[Rbethman]

All,

    While digging around the proverbial "junque" box, I stumbled across 
something from MANY years ago.  It MAY prove to make another replacement 
for ballast tubes.

    This particular item is an S)-239 connector with a GE-47 bulb 
soldered in.  It also has a red flexible translucent tip.  These were 
sold approx 20+ yrs ago as <cringe> CB dummy loads.

    If this took the 4 watt carrier AND the modulation, AND provided a 
50 ohm load, THEN a #47 soldered with wires one then inserted into pin 2 
the other into 7, it SHOULD replace the ballast tube.  NO RFI.
