Welcome Dave,

I don't believe anyone makes a replacement for your transformer. The transformers in old radios are often referred to as unobtainium. Always be careful when working around one.
You can try to get a replacement off of eBay, or by posting an ad in the "Wanted Ads" section of the Phorum. You might also search for a donor chassis of the same type in order to retrieve the part you need.

It might also be possible to repair your transformer by replacing the broken lug. Might not look perfect, but if you can make it work electrically, you're probably good to go.

Good luck,
Jon
