It sounds very much like it!

While you have the measuring equipment out, can you share with us the winding resistances; the open-circuit voltage (tell us the primary voltage!); and the full-load voltage (at the same primary voltage).

The no-load and full-load primary currents would be good to know, too.

I can do some number-crunching then!
P1 Primary
P2 low voltage tapping 200-220V
P3 high voltage tapping 230-250V

For no particular reason I did the test using the P2 Tapping at 210V


Primary Resistance P1 - P2 292.5 Ohm
Primary Resistance P1 - P3. 337.0 Ohm
Secondary S1 - S2 372 Ohm

primary Voltage 210V Secondary Voltage 171V unloaded

primary Voltage 210V secondary Voltage 159V @ 20mA load

Impedance Voltage 14.9V
