Hi Yoni,
Didn't have any more luck than you finding the exact part you're looking for; you might consider contacting the manufacturer regarding where to get exact replacement parts.
Having said that, I did find a couple of possibilities for you. The first one is one I'm a little doubtful of; it's the exact same manufacturer, but it's a slightly different model. This one is only 10VA power output rather than 15VA, so I'd be leery of using it as a replacement, but since it's the closest I found, I figured I'd present it to you as an option.

The second one is a part I located by searching using your specifications on digikey.com and mouser.com. This one is actually rated at 24VA, so it will handle all the power you need and then some. You do, however, have to wire it yourself; it's got multiple taps on both sides, so you have to connect the two center pins (2 and 3) on both the input and output sides, and use the two outer pins (1 and 4) as the primary input and secondary output.

The data sheet has details on how to wire it and all the specifications.
Hope that helps; let us know how it all turns out!

So what do you suggest ? Thanks for your assistance
@yonisackstein It depends on your level of technical expertise. If you can do a little bit of soldering, then I would cut the wires off the original transformer and solder them onto the one I identified from Mouser Electronics. The black wires go to primary pins 1 and 4, and the yellow wires go to the secondary pins 1 and 4. Don't forget to solder together pins 2 and 3 on both sides.
After you've done all that, the replacement you've built should plug in exactly the same as the original. Since you're working with AC power you don't need to worry about getting the two black wires switched; you can put either one on pin 1 or 4; it doesn't matter which. Same with the yellow wires.
If you aren't up to soldering and rewiring a replacement, then your next best bet is to get hold of the manufacturer to ask them where to get the part, as none of us here have had any luck locating an exact replacement.
You could also try contacting the transformer manufacturer, Basler Electric directly to see if they can source your transformer.

Here's the parts list that also didn't help.
The transformer Vulcan part number is 851800-773 but I've had no luck finding it using the part number.
It's a Step-down 208/240 12v transformer
I think I found one but it may depend on the physical size and the connection type of the original as to whether it fits OK. Electrically it has the correct specifications.
You can use the 240V input connection i.e. 240V + Com, only if that's all you need. Insulate the 208V connector using electrician's tape to prevent it coming into contact with anything as it might be "live" when the 240V is conncted to the other termnals
Search online for Moffat Transformer 208/240V X 12Vac Sec 15Va M234429 to find suppliers that suit you best. (supplier examples only)
Just wondering, how old your oven is?
Looking at the image you posted in an earlier question you asked for the same oven model transformer, it shows that the transformer has a 230V input only yet the parts manual I linked above shows that it has two voltage inputs i.e. 208 and 240V for models prior to and since 2010.
Maybe the original transformer is not available anymore and the parts list shows a compatible replacement (also the specifications) or they've changed the power requirements.

What should I do? Can’t seem to find it and without it the oven doesn’t work
The oven is 2 years old
Bassler can only ship the whole box not just a transformer which will cost $1000
The option that needs to be soldered. U think that would work ?
How do I find out if they have changed the power requirements or if that other parts mentioned are compatible?
As long as you insulate the connection it should be OK You can't easily solder to the connector tabs in the transformer I linked so you'll need to find a suitable connector plug that fits onto them and crimp the wires into the connector plugs.
An electrical parts store should have them
What is the model number of the oven that is should on the product label (usually at the back of the oven)?
As I said, the parts list for a Vulcan VCH16 that I linked above says its for models before and since 2010 and there's only 1 power transformer shown in the list.

This is what landed up buying from Amazon. The Vulcan guy said need 208/240 also that’s what it’s shows on top of the oven but the original transformer that broke shows 230. Does this make sense e

What do you think
Does the original transformer also have a white plug (or socket) the same as what's shown in the image above?
It is very strange unless the oven was designed for a 2 x 120V input.
I don't know USA AC power systems as 208 is split phase 120V i.e. 2 x 120V. Where I am it is 240V on each if you need 2 supplies to an oven
You better check first with Vulcan or an electrician I think
@jayeff Generally here in the US we have 240VAC coming into the house; if you take power from the two lines coming in you get your 240, which is used for ovens and dryers, but the rest of the house is usually wired to only one leg, with the other going to ground, giving you 120VAC.
@yonisackstein I would think the transformer you have is likely to work; after all the one I located comes as a 240V transformer rather than 230V like your original.
As far as differences, there could be some slight variation. If your system is expecting a 12V output at 230V input, then there's going to be some variation when running a 240V transformer at only 230V. Basically it will drop the output voltage from 12V to 11.5V, which may or may not be acceptable; that's only a five percent variation, so I suspect it will work fine. If you have a voltmeter and can check the wall power, you may find it was running at 240V all along; it would be interesting to know.
Just clarifying that you have one dedicated fuse from a 240V mains power supply into the house power box for ovens and dryers or you use 2 fuses from a 120V mains power supply in the house power box
Here we have 240V + Neutral i.e. 2 wires, connected to the house power box by the power company (or 2 x 240V wires or even 3 x 240V wires if required).
The earth is supplied by a local connection between the power box and the buried water pipes or a 1.4m copper or galvanized steel stake driven into the ground at the premises. The Neutral and Earth are joined in the power box at the Neutral Earth link connector strip, so effectively Neutral is earth
I thought that in the USA that it was only 110-120V + Neutral supplied to the premises, so to get 240V at the oven dryer etc you would need 2 separate fuses in the power box and not just 1 like here.
If this is the case just wondered how the original transformer where the specs on it showed 230V 12V 15VA got 230V (240V?). 2 x 120V connected to the primary winding perhaps idk??
If this is the way to do it then the transformer I linked above probably won't work unless the 2 x 120 are connected between the 240V and Com terminals and I hope that the Com terminal is not earthed that's why I said for the OP to contact an electrician or Vulcan

@yonisackstein it will help if you can let us know the dimensions for the transformer. I wonder if the one from a VCH 8 would not fit
Length (inch)7.3
Width (inch)5.35
Height (inch)5.2
Part number for that is 00-960751
