I am thinking of making a DIY Matchless Lightning clone so I am looking for Power Transformer with 275-0-275 V on secondary, 6.3V, 5V filaments (2-5A). 

Also looking for 15W output tranny and 10H / 100mA choke - although these are easier to find and a few variants are available online.

    Luke at Transformer equipment Ltd has made me a couple of custom Power transformers in the past for AC30s*,I'd recommend him on basically every count based on my experience - quality, price and lead time.

    Thank you for your recommendation. I'll shoot him an email.

    Primary windings did the ampmaker transformers
    Ive used transformer eq in the past so would also recommend
    im sure @Modulus_Amps could also help out

    Yes we could easily do this, would need about a week to make it as we are pretty busy with transformers at the moment though. 

    You probably want a output transformer rated a bit above 15w, if you said 15w to most transformer makers they will give you a smaller OT than one would expect. I would use a 18w "RS" type OT, they are properly interleaved and easily handle the bass with clarity.

    Oh hi! I've looked at chassis and some parts at your website!
    I am starting to think that this project is running out of budget with the Christmas creeping in, so I am thinking to postpone it till next year (and because it is likely driven by GAS, not the necessity), but I'd appreciate if you can DM me a quote or even approximate cost. PT is for ~170mA, output for 5.k/8k primary (or just 5k if it's easier) and 4, 8,16 secondaries.
