Other radios that have usable power transformers for your radio:

40-150, 40-155.
41-250, 41-255, 41-280, 41-285, 41-287, 41-290, 41-296.
42-355, 42-380, 42-390.

I think Philco made seventy bazillion 41-280 sets (okay, 81,561), and there are plenty of parts chassis for these floating around. Not hard to find at all.
