[Boatanchors] Need Info On Valiant HV Filter Choke

I have a HV filter choke (P/N 22.1284) from a Johnson Valiant I/II 
transmitter, and am considering using it in the HV section of a power 
supply for an ART-13 WWII AM/CW transmitter.  Power requirements are 
1150V-1450V at approximately 300 mA.  The LV section of the supply needs 
to produce 400V - 450V at approximately 300mA.

I have a plate transformer which produces approximately 1650V no-load, 
and I am planning to use it with a bridge consisting of microwave oven 
diodes driving a choke input filter and a couple of 4 uF 2000V 
oil-filled caps.

Can anyone tell me the ratings for the Valiant 22.1284 HV choke 
(Inductance and Current Capacity)?  Should I use it as the HV filter 
choke in my supply?  If the Valiant choke isn't up to the task, I have a 
(much larger) UTC Special Series S33 choke rated 8 Hy at 300 mA which I 
could use for the HV choke.  In that case, I could use the Valiant choke 
in the LV section of the power supply.

Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
