TRANSFORMER TO RESTORE - DO YOU KNOW ANYONE?
#2

You already know the specs on the transformer from voltage readings on Philco's service data. There's a company in Grand Haven, Michigan: Heyboer Transformer Co. While I have never had them do one for me, they will wind a new transformer for you to your specs. Best to measure the old coil, the core leg that passes thru the coil, the "windows" in the core stack, where the coil occupies, and the thickness of the core stack. Using this data, check with Hetboer, and see what a new coil will cost. It's going to be a good bit more than $25.00, but if you want a good transformer, it's the way to go.

Lots of luck.
