Update: I think the transformer is OK.. Using the dim bulb test I think I misread the results. I put in a 60 watt bulb and it lit dimly. I put in the rectifier tube and it also ( the bulb) lit dimly. Not Bright like a 60 watt bulb would be..

I do have a replacement chassis in the works thanks to Davidff just in case.

So on to Capacitor Replacement ( almost done) . The electrolitics were replaced before I tried the dim bulb test..
