In a brilliant stroke of genius, John Hofstetter <hofs@domain.elided>
blurted out:

Sheez... now I'm going to have to actually go out there and measure the
resistance of my ballast resistor to see what the heck I have!  I just went
to a local chain parts store and asked for a ballast resistor by specifying
the make / model IH I had.  I never thought to test it.

Loosing sleep over my ballast resistor,
