Philco 37-670B power transformer question

Thanks Terry, The problem I have is that the voltages on the plates of the DET,RF, and IF AMP is already high (measured with a DVM). Voltages on the plates of the driver and output tubes is about 40v low. Screen voltages on the DET, RF, and IF AMP tubes is about half of what it should be. Will a SS rectifier help any, and if so, I am not sure how to wire one up?
Thanks for your input,
  Tim
