Tried a full wave silicone rectifier. Dropped the TR output voltage to about 12.7 volts AC with a DC reading of 9.5 volts (unfiltered). Transformer remains absolutely cool so I guess I'll hide a rectifier inside the pedestal. I'll put wires on the copper oxide rectifier to make it look like it's in the circuit. Now to rewind the coils and fix the cone.
