Hi Adam,
              I have been working on a couple tranny 
winding projects 
             myself. The bottom line on your core is that 
it probably 
             can't do more than it did before, 15/30. 
NST's aren't 
             usually over built. The main prob is to fit 
the winding 
             in the same space if you just want to 
duplicate what you 
             had. Then there is the economic side, it's 
not.
              When you can buy a pig for $100.00 it's 
hardly worth it 
             to build such a small xformer, even just for 
fun. For not 
             much more effort you could wind a much 
bigger xformer if 
             you had the core.
              Get a huge core then look at the numbers 
again. I'll 
             fill you on details on my projects soon.
