Default Where to scavenge mu-metal?

Why?

My bench power supply's transformer is coupling hum into my breadboard. Yes,
I can move my circuit farther away, but I'd rather solve the problem (short
of replacing an otherwise good supply) than the symptom.

It's a 70's vintage lam transformer with half a dozen secondary windings. I'd
prefer a toroid, but it will be cheaper to simply shield this one.
