Accidentally hit a choke coil with my soldering iron… how screwed am I?

Pretty much any of the little series lead ones with a 75 to 200 uH value and a self resonant frequency (SRF) greater than 12 MHz will work.

Well, it seems that the original part is still viable, provided that it's kept safe from future corrosion and oxidation, thus I mentioned sealing it with enamel such as corona dope, cause if it indeed still good, once sealed, it should be good for another 30-40 years or more!
