[AMRadio] RF Chokes

[Geoff/W5OMR]

A while back, some ham came over, and we got to talking about homebrewing.
He was building something, and needed an RF choke.  I had a brand new, never
used, National RF choke, still in the original box.  At the time I never had 
any plans of building anything.  I have my push-pull, link-coupled 250TH 
final, and even though it was built in the 50's, it will probably outlive me.

But, recently I got the urge to build.  I think the conversation here about
all the homebrewing that's been going on had a heavy hand to spark that
interest.  I thank y'all for that.

The plan is to build up a final, using a single tube in the final.  Either a 
450TL, or a 304TL.  I'm leaning towards the 450TL, because I've got
three of them, and a single tube, modulated by a pair interests me.

I've got the main tuning capacitor (B&W Butterfly w/neutralization caps
on the back) an HDVL jack-bar, all the plug in coils for 80 thru 10, an
aluminum chassis to mount it on, and most of the necessary associated 
hardware... except for the RF choke.

I found a couple on E-bay... but $8.oo to $10.oo?  Are they really that
expensive, even still today?

Does anyone have a spare they wouldn't mind parting with?
