Magnavox 8804 power transformer question

I have what I think is a Magnavox 8804 here. It's tube compliment is a 6CA4 rectifier, a pair of 6EU7, and a quad of 6V6.

My question is that there is an unused winding on it's PT. It's a yellow/tan color. I suspect it was for the heaters on the head unit, but I don't know for sure. Does anyone know what it's voltage and current might have been? I was thinking of using it to power the 6CA4.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it powered a half dozen or so tubes in the tuner, so it'll have no problem with a 6CA4. I rewired one to power half of the output tubes, allowing the use of 6L6s.
