If it's a 6.3 volt filimant, a transformer shouldn't be at all hard to find. Try taking apart some little alarm clock/clock radios, those typically have little transformers that will be 12 volt, you might be able to find a center tapped one. I've scavenged transformers out of all sorts of stuff, it just takes some looking sometimes... Start picking up small electronics found in the trash, things like cassette players, clock radios, cd decks and older VCR's typically use power transformers.
Or, you could just go to Rat Shack, believe it or not, they still have a couple useful things, and they do still have small 12.6 volt transformers center tapped at 6.3 volts.
What was wrong with the filament power source in the television? I wouldn't see why only the CRT would lose it's filament source - normally they get it from the same place that the rest of the tubes do - or is this one of those series string sets without a filament transformer? If so, then won't all the rest of the tubes be running a little hot with the CRT removed from the string?
