Yes, it is a 100uH inductor. When I first purchased it several years ago, the coils were damaged beyond repair, so I took them out. I made temporary new coils from RF chokes and did get the set to work very well. Then I lost interest in it and it has been in the attic for years. Even if the chassis had been used for something else, there is only a single hole for the volume control/on-off switch on the front, suggesting it never had a wavechange switch. I really don't know. The only alteration that I made to the wiring was to fit dropping resistors in the filaments so I could use a 3 Volt LT supply. I now have a 2 Volt re-chargeable sealed lead acid, so I can take them out. I don't suppose it will take much effort to rebuild it, but I just wondered what it was. Someone, apart from me, had already had a go at it before I got it! The person I got it from did not know anything about it, although he is a dealer in vimtage radio parts, equipment and books etc. Someone had apparently drilled a hole through the oscillator coil, no doubt be accident, and the aerial coil was broken as well! I tend to only buy old radios if they are in a dreadful condition!
