I can tell you from experience that the coil you bought more than likely will not work. Mainly because, at 2 inches long, it will not fit in the can under the chassis. On mine the OSC coil was open, (and Ron did an amazing job of rewinding it for me), so I had to remove it and saw its length. The antenna coil looked to be the same length, as far as I could tell (didn't have it out), and as such it's at least a half inch shorter than the 2 inch one you found. But save it. As you said, it may work on a different project!
