Dan;
I take it that you mean that the H.V winding reads 157 ohms on one side of the center tap, and 177 ohms on the other with a total of 334 ohms across both? If the schematic says 275 Ohm that does not sound like a problem, though the difference between the two outer legs of the H.V winding might be. If there is very little current draw from the primary side, and the transformer is staying relatively cool, then I think it's probably fine. Shorted turns on a H.V secondary will make the transformer overheat, and smell, well before burning up.

Arran
