Dragging out an old nemisis-Philco 66 cathedral-SUCCESS
#10

Which would be strange, I mean bad transformer.

Theoretically at least, if you do not have smoke, heat etc occurring in your transformer, and then you have one winding outputting correct voltage, the rest of the windings, PROVIDED the transformer is original and not had been rewound in the past, the rest of the windings, if unloaded, MUST output correct voltages. And as I understand, both 80 filament voltage and the High voltage are correct. Which means the 6.3V filament voltage if unloaded, has to be correct.
Again, should you have a turn short internally in ANY winding, NONE of your voltages will be correct AND you will have heat/smoke/blown fuses (if installed) etc.
