In between jobs, I decided to pull a recent freebie I was given, a 38-7 chassis. When changing out the bakelite block, I noticed some of the tar sealer had melted, like it had overheated, possibly from shorting out. This block is directly across the line voltage input. I checked the main transformer. It's supposed to read 120ohms/130ohms to center tap, or 250ohms total. it reads 193/205 or 398 total.

Would you say the main transformer is damaged? I do have another chassis. I may just rebuild that one, and steal parts from this one.

Blessings,
