Just remember that those "300 ohm" DC resistance numbers on schematics have nothing to do with audio impedance values. You can forget those DC numbers for this exercise.

You should be up in the 'several K' numbers for impedance on the primary. I'd go with the 4k/8k options. It will vary if you feed a 4 vs an 8 ohm speaker. An original Philco speaker of that era will be closer to 4 rather than 8 ohms. I think they lean towards the ~ 2.6 ohms neighbourhood .

The AF xfmr behaves as a 'ratio' animal to match the tubes to the speaker at AUDIO frequencies. Just try it and see. Dunno your specific transformer but you should be able to come close to spec. Lots of leeway.
