What does your meter read when you short the two probes together? Just curious. .4 seems low. If the schematic is at all correct, it should read about 4. It's possible that the capacitors in the Bakelite block are causing a reading error. You might remove one of the white wires from any connection and measure again. And the 185 seems low. Is that between the two yellows or from each yellow to the green?
