RS produced various devices with this title over the years

Can't help you on sourcing one but I had to smile when I saw the price - that illustration must be pretty old

Yes Quite a beast that one and possibly difficult to find.
Do you need that exact one or could you "prune" your spec for what you actually need.
If not using a valve rectifier you could do without the 5V winding for example
