Any help would be greatly Appreciated

Radio Amateurs Handbook any copy printed between 1963 to 1970.
Also back issues of QST for that era.

A tube TRX for SSB will minimally be around 11 tubes or more and not
simple.
"Just finding items like the power transformer will be a challenge."

NOPE, that is urban legend BS or must be working for a Far East exporter
(Purpose of the "weak dollar" is to strengthen these mfg. in world market -
not kill them).

Just in greater Chicago area there are at least 3 major mfg. that have been
around for 75+ years -- and turning out hundreds a day plus custom requests.
Triode Electronics JUST handles the Dynaco rebuild requests -- they are
providing brand new units exceeding original 1950 specifications (better
materials and mfg facilities)

Heyboer - Grand Rapids, MI

Heyboer also handles the profesional musicians/bands/professional
restorers/audiphile market -- that still use vacuum tubes for that soft warm
sound!

There are a LARGE number of US transformer manufacturers -- USE the GOOGLE
with the Internet!!

If you can find an old Heathkit HW32 (Monobander SSB series) and
rebuild it that might work better.

Yes, that is a viable solution for a tube based radio. A solid state design
is also possible.
