Can you be more specific about the core specification? I routinely 
use cores recovered from scrapped electronics for many purposes and 
one does not have to be stuck with a specific core in 99% of cases.

Your best bet for transformers is either an appliance repair shop 
which is throwing written-off uWave ovens out to the dump, or a neon 
sign manufacturer.
