Suitable Transformer

Hia all,
I have recently bought a Studiomaster 16-8-2 mixing desk on Ebay to find that there was no PSU included. After finding that these PSUs are really difficult to find, I have decided to attempt to build my own as the desk is a project in itself.

I have included a schematic of the circuit that I need to build, the only thing I'm having trouble with is finding a transformer that supplies the voltages required. The transformer for the original PSU is a custom toroidal from what I can see.

Thanks, knobydobs

Have you considered using 3 separate transformers respectively feeding the 3 bridge rectifiers? Or you could get a custom-made transformer ...... at a price.

Here in N.A. Toroids are relatively easy to come by, if you can find one with suitable Va it is very easy to wind on/modify for suitable winding's, generally around 2 turns/volt is needed.
