Don't think you can just take transformers apart or rewind them ad-hoc. It's much more complicated than that. If you do it without a full understanding of all the details of winding, insulation, wire sizes, taps, impregnation and a host of other details, you will get a transformer that is not efficient, that does not do what you expect, or is even dangerous.
