Thanks to everyone who posted here for all the help on this. There already is a resistor 100ohm 4W inbetween the 6X5 and the filter caps, so I'll change it out for one around 5k 5W. According to the sams the 5v winding should be at 3A , and the 6v at 9.1A, so I can just use 1 of the 5v windings for 3A, but the 6v will either be low at 7A or high at 14A.
It already has one of the newer type 6X5s in there which I checked for shorts. I think the demise of the power transformer was caused by the people I bought it from plugging it it to see if it works with shorted filter caps. I don't see many of the older type 6X5s, I just looked in my stash of tubes and only 1 out of 5 6X5s I had was the old type, they've probably mostly all shorted out by now.
I already picked up the riders, and the sams corresponding to this is not listed in the index, but the Silvertone models 9123-9126 do use the same chassis, so you can find it in sams 79-16. I'm not sure if it was Sears making chassis for Pacific-Mercury or Pacific-Mercury making them for Sears though. But then this set did use Silvertone tubes.
