I found a little info...

"""The choke in the Spitfire/Lightning has a d.c. resistance of 225 ohms """

You might also try West Labs [amplifiers] they have the trannys that were made for the matchless.. The page don't list the value. They just show a choke for a 15 watt amp. But i'm sure if you e-mail them,and ask,they can tell you,or tell you what might work best.

When I built my Spitfire clone, I used the whole 15 watt transformer set from West Labs, which includes the choke. FWIW.
