Dear JB,
best for transformer constructons is Jerry Sevicks Book Transmission Line 
Transformers, W2FMI  ARRL Publications. 
1. The material o f deflection transformers for LF is a good choice. 

2. Remove the gap of the core, replace it by a minimal gap of one layer of 
insulation foil in each leg. This to reduce residual remanent flux from abt 180 
mT to abt. 30 mT

3. Look to the core as a rectangular "Toroid", at least as an UU-Core (CC-Core) 
and spread the primary and secondary over the full perimeter to have no stray 
paths. Ore Use two halves of the pri and sec. coils for an UU-Core. Or use two 
deflection cores as an EE-Core with rectangular cross section...

4.  the number of turns depends of the magnetic properties of the core 
material, not of any AL-value.  See the basics in the catalogue of Amidon.com 
or amidon.de. (Young Communication engineers lack the art of the calculus of 
magnetic circuits...) I Have fed my marconi with an balun on an 61mm toroid , 
n=4 50R/200R, 200 Ohm is for the antenna side. 

5. More details upon request.
