The transformer you are looking for is properly called - an oil burner
ignition transformer. One of the most frequently seen brands is
Franceformer. BTW most of us get them out of the trash, on your trash day
walk throught the entire route and see if someone threw one out. Right now
it's the heating season in North America so your chances are pretty good.

Huh? Could you be a little more specific with what you want.
