I think I can locate all the rest, but the 24 to 30 VAC center tapped transformer, I just don't really know much about.
 
Can anyone suggest a specific part that would work (preferrably with a location to buy it online)?

Well I won't have to send any out. Look for a Stancor TP2 on the transformer, dad says these are usually quite easy to find surplus.

As long as we're on this topic:
 
Any issue with connecting a Jensen transformer on the output jacks?

Can anyone here who built one of these give an approximation of how much it cost to build?
 
Or better yet, does anyone have one of the old blue boxes they have maybe replaced with a rackmount they want to sell?

I'm looking for the parts now but can't find the 5 pin switchcraft socket in the UK.
Any pointers?

If you are interested, I just made a couple of rack mount DS5-type units and ordered the parts from Mouser (www.mouser.com). Here is the parts list including the transformer:
 
Mouser #:611-7201-021
Mfr. #:   7201P3YZQE
Desc.: Toggle Switches ON-ON DPDT FLT $7.68ea.
   
Mouser #:568-NC5FP-1-B
Mfr. #:   NC5FP-B-1
Desc.: XLR Panel Mount Connectors 5C FEMALE BLACK $11.52ea.
      
Mouser #: 660-CF1/4LT52R203G
Mfr. #: CF1/4LT52R203G
Desc.: 1/4Watt Axial Leaded Carbon Film Resistors 1/4W 20K 5%TR $0.34ea.
      
Mouser #: 75-TVA1213
Mfr. #:   TVA1213
Desc.: TVA Axial Electrolytic Capacitors 25V 2000uF $4.99ea.
      
Mouser #: 833-RB152-BP
Mfr. #:   RB152-BP
Desc.: Rectifiers - Bridge 100V 1.5A $0.34ea.
       
Mouser #: 802-P-8396
Mfr. #:   P-8396
Desc.:   Power Transformers Single Secondary $10.94ea.
 
You can use the above schematic and build it that way. I got the single rack space 19 boxes from Markertek. I included some other stuff (front & back outputs, mono/stereo switching, effects loops, etc.), but this will get you going.
 
Thanks!
