[R-390] Baluns Caps and Ballasts

[rbethman]

Yep!  That's how my '67 EAC was done.

I'm looking at getting the ones for my '51 Contract Collins either from 
Tom, or go ahead and re-stuff, as I have multiple octal bases, multiple 
sets of electrolytics, and have already cleaned the black crap from the 
original cans.

However, I am DEFINITELY not going to pot them in epoxy!  That isn't 
necessary!
