In the amplifier compartment of a 1970s vintage ham radio, if the
plate choke in the B+ supply lost some of it's inductance due to some
of the coil windings shorting together would it cause the plate tuning
capacitor to require less capacitance (such as fully open) to reach
resonance?

-Curios.

Seems to me that any choke in the circuit should be a rather large
inductance... and is not involved in the tuning process.
