Default Looking for one low-power tube modulation transformer

Hi, I'm looking for a low-power modulation transformer. I'd like to
build a QRP (5W?) tube AM transmitter for the 10m band. Thanks, 73s,

Are there any old tube type CB radios around?

I suppose size might matter, but sometimes old tube type
power transformers can come up with a "close enough"
impedance ratio.

Another old time solution was to find a tube type speaker
output transformer, with the secondary on an outside winding
which could be stripped away, making room to add a new
secondary. (keep a log of turns removed on the old
secondary, so a good estimate of new turns required)
(to get impedances fairly close.. precision not required)
