Does the xfmr have a 5-V winding?

:The previous owner must have had some work done on this set. The rectifier tube in the set is a 5X4G which has filament pins on 7 and 8. The correct tube is 6X5 with filament pins on 2 and 7. This set could not have worked. Interesting but it would not operate, would it? (unless re wired but it is not)
