If you do decide to wind your own, I would recommend using laminations from a power transformer before using a solid chunk of material. Audio transformers use thinner laminations than a power transformer, but ones from a power transformer would be better than solid.
If you want I could keep an eye out for kind of suitable transforms at the local scrap yard. The shipping via a flat rate box would not be too bad. The last heavy stuff I shipped using a flat rate box , got separated from the box. But since then I got some stronger tape.
