Luxman CL-35 MKIII MC transformers

I'm interested in using the moving coil phono stage on my Luxman CL-35 MKiii preamp for my Denon 103S & 301ii cartridges but I do not have the transformers for the 9pin sockets on the rear.

Is there a replacement of any kind for the 6400 series transformers mentioned in the manual? (3rd photo is from the manual)

I've grabbed a few photos of the 6412 transformer which has been included on some units at the auction site.

I've never seen anything to substitute for those that plug into the preamp. You could use the wiring diagram and build an SUT to use those sockets but it would be easier to use the SUT separately, rca in and out. Maybe the SUTs would show up on the bay (I've seen a few sets) or on HiFiDo but they may be a high demand product and not make it to their website.
 
I'd been thinking the same, a few weeks ago I purchased a QED SUT but haven't hooked it up yet. I know it's not the most glamorous but it should do the job.
Just thought I'd ask the AK community in case there was another solution
I appreciate your response @Blue Shadow
 
My HK SUTs should use the same socket but have a different pinout, so you'd need to adjust wiring to the socket. Ratio may not be the same, mine are 1:10. I'd love to come across a pair of those sockets...
 
I believe Bogen had some mic transformers with that same socket, but I don't know if they would be suitable for the task.
