Sourcing for modded SLO build

Hi folks!
I started a build with the AA Electronics Solo100 PCB, which is basically a SLO 100 with DC heaters included, I'll attach a pic or two of the board all finished. I'm also doing a handful of the mods from https://robrobinette.com/How_the_Saldano_SLO-100_Works.htm. The big challenge I am having is sourcing the power transformer and chassis here in the US. I ordered both those and a choke from http://c3amps.com, but it's been well over a week and I haven't heard anything acknowledging my order. Does anyone know if C3 Amps are still active? I understand it's a one person operation, but at a certain point, I'd expect some sort of communication. Otherwise, does anyone know where I can find a SLO100 chassis and a suitable power transformer? Ideally a transformer with 3A 3.15V aux, 75A 3.15V with a CT, and a 50v bias tap. And I'd really prefer to order from a US retailer / distributor to avoid tariffs and other import charges slamming the wallet, I know Tube Town has both of what I'm looking for, but it gets pretty pricey to order overseas.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

C3 Amps are theoretically active, but they're definitely not very responsive. I ordered a 50W SLO kit from them and it took a paypal dispute to get them to ship the head cabinet, they repeatedly ignored my emails. And after all that the build didn't work and I haven't been able to get any support from C3 so it's just sitting in a box in my basement. So if you want a set of 50W iron and a chassis/head cabinet I'll give you a deal :P

Ah sorry to hear that, and a bit disappointed, but appreciate the offer, but I'm doing a 100W build.
