I also have a 76PA that has been upgraded to 3CX800A7'S, vac relays, etc done 
by Dick N4UQ.
Its been a while since I have asked Dick  about mods to my 76PA for 12M but as 
I recall it  was a more extensive mod than 
just swapping out the plate choke and I decided not to do it.  I would bounce 
this question off  Dick again to get his input. 
Let us know what you find out.  I would be interested in doing a 12 m upgrade 
also if it wasn't too big of a deal.
