Hi Ryan,

On that Stancor transformer, I think you meant an 8414. The Stancor 8414
is largely identical to the Thordarson 24R27. Both have a 600 -0- 600 V -at-
200 mA HV winding. There is a 5V / 3A winding, and the Thordarson has
2 x 6.3V / 3A windings. The Stancor has only one 6.3V winding.

I don't think you should limit yourself to these specific transformers. Any 
large
power transformer will work and an old TV set is a good source. Using a
separate plate transformer such as a MOT, as others have suggested,
will give you greater leeway in tube choice when you combine the plate 
transformer with a separate filament source to match the tube(s).

Happy day,
Ralph Zekelman
