As I understand it, your replacement transformer has a 6.3V winding for the tube heaters (filaments), but no 5V winding for the rectifier 5Y3GT. Is this correct? How did you have the present transformer connected to the heaters when the radio was working?
If you can't find a suitable transformer, you can use your present one by replacing the rectifier tube with silicon rectifier diodes and leaving the 5Y3GT tube with its socket wiring unconnected. It won't light up but will at least look original
