Heard it said that, of all things, ringer modules from old fashioned Ma Bell telephones can be substituted for these transformers. Seems that the ringer has a pair of windings, which can be repurposed to become a primary and a secondary. And possibly the bobbin holding the windings can be inserted into the old transformer laminations, if you're lucky.
