60 Hz? Maybe you could give the guys at Prem Magnetics a call. They're
always sending emails offering to do custom work.

Yep, 50/60Hz. I will check them out.
Also, Ian, thanks for the link. I'll check them out as well. I will
admit, though, those Xformers looks huge in the brochure, and I always
thought those little 120->6.3V 6VA transformers I used to find in
cannibalized tape recorders and such were so much smaller.

Nothing stopping you from using two smaller transformers - 120 primary
to some secondary voltage, say 24VAC, then a second transformer with a
240V CT primary that also has a 24VAC secondary. Assuming you get the VA
figured out correctly these should work and be much smaller than a
single 240CT to 120VAC transformer.
Hammond Manufacturing makes a wide range of superior quality
transformers that is widely used by the tube and regular electronics folk.

I think you will find this series helpful, note the VA rating and get
yourself one of the 187C20 and a 186C20 - or for a bit extra power and
to allow for losses, get the 187D20 and 186D20 - wire the 24VAC
secondaries together (ignoring the centre tap on the secondaries of
course). Farily compact.
Hammond also will wind you a single or a thousand transformers...I like
looking at their complete line, including a replacement transformer for
the early 1920s RCA Radiola III battery radio.

Amazing range!
