The coil and capacitor combination serves to create a series resonant circuit at the 455 kHz IF frequency. This provides better bypassing of circuit ground to the chassis and prevents possible oscillations in the IF.
The best solution would be to restuff the original cardboard tube with a modern cap inside and leave the wire wrapped around it as original.
