You should be able to find a transformer for that unit. Make sure you don't run a new one until you monitor the current from the 5U4 output.

Most TVs of that era used very similar transformers. If you can't find one, one from a junk chassis can be made to work without too much effort. Make sure the one you're subbing has sufficient filament current capability, or you can add a filament transformer in place of the original filament winding. You may have to add a dropping resistor if a replacement transformer has too much B+.

In any case, that's a very unique and handsome console in an era where they often weren't.

Oh, and welcome to Videokarma.
