Brent,

It is worth a try.  Your system is performing pretty good now, however.

 If you use the same secondary, of course, you will have to reduce the
cap
size a bit, or just put a larger top hat on the resonator to make the
tune
point move out to more taps with the bigger primary.  Good luck and let
us
know what happens.
