When they did, the part would probly cost as much as the rest of the
materials put together. Makes perfect sense to me.
Hmm...good point about the cost, but iron-core power transformers aren't
exactly out of style. They wouldn't have much of a hard time finding
them...but paying for them would indeed be another matter.
