parallel chokes in a power supply

Assuming nearly identical chokes, ie, same part number and
manufacturer, will there be any problems?
I know the combined parallel inductance and resistance will be one half
that of a single choke, and the current capacity will be doubled.
Will one choke "take over" and burn out?
I have "space in the chassis problems", so I can't use one big choke.

Analogue vacuum tube projects are very tolerant (in general) to small
difference such as your project . I wouldn't worry about it . Unless
it will power a precision sensitive circuit , such as a very stable
RF source or a similar application .
