You could use several versions (numbers) of this transformer as long as the sets tube is pentode like a 6GK6.
Was the yoke checked? Those yokes seemed to be trouble-prone.
That Motorola set itself was as good as the Zenith offerings at the time, except for, maybe the CRT.
I replaced a lot of Zenith yokes of the same era.
