Marty, I'm thinking you can transplant the coil assembly from one of your spares into the Philco can, using the Philco trimmers. It will probably tune 460 but if not, small silver mica caps could nudge the trimmers into range. Or in some cases you can remove a "leaf" from a trimmer to increase frequency. One way to try all this without getting into the radio would be to feed a modulated 460 from a signal generator into your good xfrmr and use a signal tracer with demod probe on the secondary to see if the device would peak. If no signal tracer then a germanium diode feeding into an audio amp.
