Hi John,
Things look pretty good to me. Sounds like you have got it pretty well under control. If you are still concerned about your transformer heating up you can make a voltage bucking circuit using a 12 volt filament transformer. Do a search and you will find some info. If you have a variac try lower the line voltage to 110v and check your transformer. I ran a check on one of my transformers with a temperature probe and after 35 min it reached 130 degrees and stayed there for 90 min. That was with a line voltage of 125V. Not one I would run all day.
