There is nothing complicated about ferrites used in transformers.    You don't need "original"materials.  In fact it would benefit greatly from using more modern materiuals and FETs

 The SMPSU world has supplied all you need.   There are thousands of suitable cores out there.   Gapped ferrites (also common in the SMPSU world) give you inductors

Any change of the load impedance (R,X) on the secondary side
is seen by the PA on the primary side proportionally to the step up ratio.

Perhaps because it is not so easy to get hold of those original transormers and chokes
within due time?
On the other hand i find that what Andy calls "complicated splitters/combiners" is not applicable
for the design used by Jay.
What could be simpler than slipping a bunch of easily available toroids over two pieces of coax
and add a resistor?
