Default Zmatch tuning unit inductance values.

Hi! I've been wanting to upgrade my old Zmatch ATU which is 30 years old
for a while but although I've come across several designs, both one and
2 coils I cannot find the actual inductance values required.
I seem to remember an article in a magazine some years ago that had them
but I haven't been able to locate it so far.
I have some very nice Silver plated coil stock that I would like to use
but as I have determined for myself the value of the coil is critical as
the network doesn't like the tuning position for any 2 bands to coincide.
Failing the use of an air cored coil I might try a Toroid, but The coil
stock is in my hands right now. Any help greatly appreciated!
