Philco model 18 (code 121) - HELP!

I re-soldered the 10 ufd cap but then I found my multi-meter wasn’t working properly (it’s old anyhow) so I order a new one. It came in the other day.
I just checked the resistance (set OFF) across the two 8 ufd e-caps and got nothing.
Looking at the schematic and going on what you’ve all said, I think it’s safe to say that the filter choke is open. Additionally, after I got my new multi-meter, I re-checked the DC voltages on the P-K of the #42 tubes and go zilch.
I have no idea what size/type of transformer to buy. The schematics show 166 Ohms but I can’t find any information on what I’m looking for.
Ideas?
Thanks.
