Some contained
three resistors, some only one and, some tried to pass theirs off as a
computerized tuning unit. X-rays revealed lots of components. Turned out to
be surplus PC boards with the dummy load resistors the only in circuit

I had to laugh out loud. Woudn't be the first time dummy active components were
used. As I recall the Judson Electronic Magneto was just an ignition coil with
dummy transistors on the outside.
