There  have been mis-designed chokes used before too! I have heard of some in 
some  Henry amps where the few top turns would burn out. That was over SR and 
was  cured by subtracting a few turns off the old  choke.

- How would that be  possible?
 
- If the choke series  resonated, wouldn't the entire choke be overloaded?
 
- Wouldn't the closer  spaced turns get much hotter than the wide spaced  
turns?
 
- I guess if you were  using some sort of a 'tapped' choke such a thing may 
be possible....but I have  never seen one in a Henry.....
 
- The only other  possibility I can think of is if that part of the choke 
BELOW the wide spaced  turns series resonated as a SEPARATE element.
