Trying to find a replacement for it is going to be tough. You'll need one with 2,5v windings one for the 80 &one for the audio tubes, a 2.5v winding for the 27 tube, and a 1.5v winding for the 26's. The Atwater Kent mod 40 uses one but it's in a can full of tar with two chokes and some caps. They can be had cheap but will be some work to get it apart and in the 511.
I hate to disagree with a fellow Phourm member but I wouldn't think of using a doubler to generate the needed HV across half the HV winding. Bad idea. What you are asking a half of burned up transformer is to deliver twice the current across one half of the HV winding. It's asking for trouble.
For a replacement look in the resources section. These a company that will build one to your spec. Will be pricey like $100-150. Rewinding would be about the same.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
