Most likely the smoke around the IF can was caused by bad wax paper cap that's drawing excessive current. All of those wax paper caps are leaking and it they are leaking enough they will smoke, or cook something in the circuit they are connected to.
My own guess is the choke is fine, but if you are putting in a parts order it might be nice to have a spare on hand. I would be looking ahead of the the choke.
What did the smoke smell like? Burnt wax, hot bakelite ?
