[AMRadio] Globe King tank coils

[Brett Gazdzinski]

I don't think the globe chump uses the same coils.
I have looked at both transmitters, way in the past, but
think the chump used a smaller coil than the king.
At least, the ceramic one in my 500c was quite big.
(but not as big as I would have made it)
