Search for "transformer iron" and "magnet wire" no site that I know
of that sells roll-your-own transformer supplies.

Here's a site with links to what you want.

Thomas & Skinner was pretty good about sending catalogs with their
iron, specs and calculations - can't raise their site right now, keeps
timing out.

In my younger years I rewound motors and transformers. One of the
larger suppliers of magnet wire and related products was Essex. I
found this site:
http://www.essexgroup.com/Subsidiaries/Essex_Brownell/motors.asp

Some outfits may only sell wholesale, but asking around they may lead
you to a local distributor who will sell you what you need.

I have no connection (no pun intended) with this company.

I've always bought wire from MWS. Great selection and outstanding
customer service.

Fish paper should be easy to find. West Systems makes good epoxy.

When you say iron cores are you talking Es and Is? We used to build tube
amp transformers, and found that pounding the last few layers of metal
into the bobbins with a soft hammer was the most important step in
keeping them quiet. Vacuum potting is essential, too, but those lams
*have* to be snug.
