If you want to kludge your filament transformer so you don't have to buy a
new one at full list prices, and are willing to cobble together some other
transformers, you might want to think about that. I built a pair of 813s
in G-G with two 2.5 v/15 amp transformers, and a 6.3 v/10 amp transformer,
all three connected in series and a variac (and voltmeter) to "manage"
filament voltage slow crankup (to turn on) and crankdown (to turn off)
cycling to increase filament life. Pictures at:

....if you want to see it.
