Default If the plate choke changes value how does it affect the plate tuning capacitor?

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.


A couple of shorted turns would efect the inductnace of the coil a lot more
than you are probably thinking. My guess is that you are just aking how a
relatively small change inductance would effect the circuit and the answer
is none.
