It's designed for those load impedances, a bog standard SET output transformer with it's primary connected to the 5k output should do then you can run a 4-8ohm or whatever loudspeaker from its secondary.

The S-27 is a high-frequency receiver and there isn't too many around!
I have another Hallicrafters receiver that has the same set-up. I did exactly the same as you did!
Later, I acquired the proper speaker and it came equipped with the proper matching transformer.
I have several Hallicrafters receivers in my collection, but not an S-27. It's strictly a high frequency receiver and I didn't desire owning one.
