I'm assuming this is a 60 Hz transformer?  Make sure you have a high 
enough permeability and that the core can take the flux density.  Also 
don't forget that there will be requirements for isolation (think UL 
rating) if it is to be safe.

You can probably find a transformer by looking through the advertisers 
in a hobby audio electronics magazine or maybe in something like nuts 
and volts.
