That's actually a standard-issue coil set designed
to fix the transmitter on the common Army Airways
calling frequency.
The OSC section will work with a 75/80 Mtr xtal
but the PA Tank/Antenna coil will need some "help"
to go that low.  I haven't tried to do that yet but
I think I'll put it "on the list."
