What will you use for an inductor in the output filter

I had a little time yesterday and opened up a PC power supply and
brought the 3 taps off of the transformer out to binding post. The
plan is to build a transformer that will step the voltage back up to
about 800 volts or so, enough for my little 6146B 6M amp.

Like you said I like to Frankenstien things. I have a filter from
another power supply but I am not sure how well it will work
as it was designed for about 25 amps. Basically thats a bridge I will
jump off of when I come to it. Right now I am having enough trouble
finding an old PC power supply I can get a transformer from. Its hard
to believe about a couple of months ago I tossed about a dozen of
them. Last time I listen to my wife. I do have a couple of
transformers from some old Lambda power supplies. Thes are some really
nice ones probably capable of handling a couple of Kwatts. Im not
ready to experiment with them yet. Although this is learning by
destuction it's cautious destruction. I will probably take a trip down
to the local computer place this weekend and do a little dumpster
diving or make a run on the goodwill store and see what I can get for
$10. IF you havent figured it out by now I love building things from
others discards. When I was in high schooI I built a killer stereo, I
thought at the time, from old stuff I found in the dump that was the
envy of most of my friends. Ive enjoyed doing it ever since.
