That's what I thought before I saw the service info. The flyback and HV rectifier are hiding under the chassis.
The power transformer is just for some of the tube filaments. There's another transformer below for a few more tubes including the CRT.
The B+ comes from rectifying and doubling the AC line. So, it's a hybrid hot chassis, transformer set!

Grrr - broken capacitor wafer mount.
The yoke is a replacement. I tested it and the flyback using an Eico 944. Both passed although the flyback gave a high pitched squeal.
DO IT RIGHT! I've seen this on a couple other late 40s Motorola chassis, but not on earlier ones.
Maybe they were making too many mistakes on the line ?
