Unfortunately, the coil isn't just a single band coil. If it was you could use a Miller 70A. I have used the 70A to replace any single BC antenna coil. I have to agree with Radioroslyn about contacting Gary Schneider. Another possibility is Wilbur Gilroy. He seems to have a lot of older Philco parts available.
