There's plenty of room to install a sub-chassis that would hold replacement power transformers below deck in that cabinet. Just be careful with the high voltage, hopefully you can get a transformer that supplies the high voltage that can fit on the TV chassis, and have the sub-chassis feed the tube heaters. This assumes nothing unobtanium is also bad...

Ohming it out, it looks like the filament string secondary is the problem.

Filament secondaries will measure near 0 ohms when good, so be sure that you aren't being fooled by that. Remove all tubes and try the dim bulb test.
