AES One Tube Transmitter

I'm thinking of buying the Antique Electronic Supply one tube transmitter, but I need to swap the transformer over for one that handles 240 volt, gives out 125 volts. Can anyone tell me of any Australian online sources for this?

** Far easier to buy a small 240 /120 stepdown from Dick Smith ( cat: M1155)

Mains transformers like that one were obsolete over 40 years ago.

I was looking at that stepdown convertor. Should I power it directly from that, and remove the old transformer, I've been told it's an isolation transformer. Since the transmitter's designed to be installed on a wood base high voltage exposed, it would need one. But I'm gonna install it in a plastic box for safety reasons (with two very inquisitive cats, we can't have exposed high voltage like that.)

Cats loose in the house? I thought that was what exposed HV was supposed to take care of! >:->
