Default 'Ferrite Pot Core Pairs'?

Ahoy,

I'm considering making the capacitor leakage tester and reformer featured in 'Everyday Practical Electronics' of September 2012. One of the parts it requires is a small, PCB-mount transformer ("ferrite pot core pair, 26mm OD, with bobbin to suit"), with instructions on how to wind it. The parts needed are available from Jaycar in Australia (LF1060 and LF1062 for the accompanying bobbin) where the design is from, but similar search terms come up blank around here.

In general, threads I've found on transformers on this forum suggest that the days of buying parts for one's own winding are gone for whatever reason. The Variable Voltage Technology company mentioned in another thread has broken links for their 'kits' page (I was interested in making some for a Mullard 5-10 possibility with a friend).

Are parts for this little PCB transformer around, and in 2020 are there any options for buying new laminations and parts for larger projects?
