Stray inductances are so big that calculations are useless.
I wish I had had a dip meter when I was working on my hacked TRK-12 RF
area that had been hacked apparently TWICE by the RCA engineers themselves
during the pre and post-WWII channel moves. I did use the dip meter
on my Pilot prewar FM when I redirected it to (part of) the modern band.

Third person today to recommend using the dip meter. I'll probably go that route.
I'm going to assume that since the set was found near NYC that the tuner was built and aligned for channels 2, 4, and 5.
