Good point.

Here's the schematic: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByM...7/M0024987.pdf

I know the field coil can be replaced with a small 6V transformer and tuned with one or two caps of around .01uf in value if a _proper_ choke isn't available. Or if the OP is somewhat adventurous and knows about solid state circuits, a transistor or MosFet can also be used wired as a capacitance multiplier.
