I really wished more manufacturers would have put a fuse in the power supply but almost none did (but I always do when repairing). The only Magnavox tube type radio or phono I have ever seen with a factory fuse is a 1946 large radio/phono console I have.
I bet you can replace that transformer pretty easily, you might have to go to a silicon bridge rectifier or silicon diodes or a 6X5 tube if you can't find one with a rectifier filament winding. Just as long as you don't go over the voltage of the original supply I would think a somewhat lower voltage output unit would do too. You could use a bridge rectifier off the center tap and outer lead of a higher-voltage output unit.
