Iron for SET

I’m green as grass. And will probably need a good SIM program to attempt a build. All this aside. I realize I probably need air gapped output transformers. But I already have an unrestored pair Heathkit A-9’s. A Sansui 500a I’ve restored. But FM stereo has major problems. I could use the iron from this.
Know where a pair of Sony Tamradio OT’s could be had.
Wondering if the PT’s from any of the stuff I already have, would work? Chokes from the A9 pair? Oh, and finally one Heathkit W-5M chassis, minus burned up PT. Don’t know if the choke or PT still ok.
I’m thinking 300b or 45.
Already have a Yamamoto A08-S.
Thoughts, suggestions?
Maybe 2a3. Push-pull transformers will be a no go for single ended.
