If AC voltage coming off a power tranny is low...

does that mean shorted windings? I have a Scott 222B with a B+ that is almost 100V too low (around 260V instead of 350V), and the AC voltage (at the plate of the rectifier - in this one a 5V4G has been substituted for a 5AR4) is also very low, I think it was in the mid 200's AC to ground instead of 330V AC. Most of the power supply caps were replaced a few years ago. Could it be anything other than shorted windings in the PT?

Thanks in advance.
