39-6 power tranny question
#1

KThanks for help on this!
Here are the facts so far...at some point, electrolytics were replaced (although not to spec on all).  She passes the dim bulb test ( power consumption is 30 w and fired up with 40 w bulb).  It powers up but weak and has low volume.  Good news is I have a 38-12 in working order which has identical tubes to swap.  My concern is with some initial testing.  Attached is a picture of the Rectifier and tranny connections from the schematics.  My primary winding has continuity as do the filament pins.  When I read from the Rectifier plates I should get 1050 ohms.  BUT, I only get 745.  Checking from the green center tap to pin  2 is 380 and pin 3 is 360.  This seems too low but looking for your expert advise.
Mark
