reading schematic - power source

If the transformer is centre tapped and that connected I'd expect it to be

12.6v per winding. Usually to provide a symmetrical power supply.

It's common these days to have two separate windings on replacement type or general purpose transformers. That gives the maximum flexibility of connection.

Thanks Dave, Do you think that the transformer with the markings may have indeed been a 6.3V one?

Are you saying that the original transformer has those markings (6.3V, 0V,

6.3V)? If so, then it's a 12.6V center tapped transformer. That is, there are 6.3V on either side of the center tap, for a total of 12.6V. If your schematic doesn't show a 0V terminal (which would be the connection for the center tap), then it just needs a transformer with a single 12.6V secondary. Your replacement transformer will work just fine; just don't connect the center tap terminal (0V) to anything. All the above presupposes that the current rating of the replacement transformer is sufficient for the application. If the replacement transformer and the original are very close to the same size and weight, then it's likely that it will work nicely.
