An option is a transformer company. Heyboer Transformers
in Grand Rapids, Michigan does this work --
you may also have a suitable rebuilder one in California.

You can provide them with specifications, an the old transformer for proper
sizing -
they matched the wire colors and used the old bells on the new transformer.
Professional job on a rebuild for me late last December.

BTW, you should specify that primary should be 120 VAC --
instead of 110 V of the original - due to higher line voltages -
this should operate cooler in the SX-42.

Heyboer does nice work and I've used them but I would think they are
prohibitively expensive for this project. You'd looking at around $150
for one this size.
