The voltage difference between the 5V4G cathode and the 6K6G screen is 80 V (325V-245V). This is the voltage across the field coil.
The normal current draw of the tubes would be about 55 mA, so calculating by Ohms law, 80V/.055A= 1454 ohms.
So you are looking for a field resistance around 1500 Ohms.
The output transformer primary resistance should be around 400 Ohms. (15 V/.035A=428 Ohms) This is the DC resistance, not the rated load impedance which is about 7500 Ohms.
Actually, most any output transformer for a 6V6, 6F6, 42, or 41 tube should work fine.
Many many thanks for that info!
