Part of the SSB IF / demodulator feed.

It should be possible to deduce the winding connections from the trackwork and then look in catalogues (Toko etc) for something that matches. Or someone here might have the parts list if you are lucky! These sets have come up before.

Just having that number would be a start: Then would begin the worldwide search for a replacement, should one still exist somewhere. If you can't find one maybe there are old Toko data sheets which state the electrical characteristics.

I think that coupled winding is going off to a detector for AGC +Smeter but I didn't look in any detail.
Hopefully fairly non-critical.
Sorry, thought I'd included that info... the can/coil in the other radio only has HTX-456 stamped in black on it, Was the first thing I did and then started searching without any luck!

It's roughly 7mmx7mmx12mm or so...

Is it actually a Variable inductor coil?
