Have you looked inside the xfmrs? If the core size is 1/2", you may still be able to get a bobbin (windings) from antique electronic in Tempe. I've "rebuilt" a few transformers over the years doing this. It's difficult, and messy, but.... For other sizes I've had to resort to other methods. I did one where I replaced the iron with a piece of pine, (hollowed out to take the modern transformer) and then wire brushed the wood to "line" it so it looked 9under the flat black paint) like laminations.

There are 2 xfmr rebuilds shown on that page...
