I’ve done coil modifications on several antiques,—not classics, so I don’t know specifically about the Elgin mag plate. The main issue, if you plan to use OMC style coils, is the size of the core. I think Elgin cores are larger than the OMC. That being true the laminations would need to be reduced to the appropriate size by machining. –The other factor is routing the secondary.
Once those issues are addressed, yes you can use OMC coils and the appropriate condenser.
