Trying another approach, I have an old beat up Sansui 1000 that used to work that I won't ever get to rebuilding, not worth it, it was in bad shape to start with, but I know the x-former in it is good, so I'm gonna pull that and use it, slightly adjusting the circuit that was in there, as it seem quite close to what I need.
I still may have to adjust for load, but I'm sure the weird ac leak problem will be gone with it, and I won't get 300+ ac shocks anymore! :p

Yeah, I should have looked more closely, I would have noticed there was something odd with these...
input power 0-85-100-110 0 – 5v3A


up top,
filament windings
0- 2.5 -2.5 -6.3 - 6.3 3A
0- 6.3 – 8.5 -15A 0- 6.3 – 8.5 -15A

hv sec out ( what I overlooked )

350 – 300 – 0 – 300- 350 but says DC130MA...
meaning, this SHOULD have built in rectification, if I am understanding this right, but it must be damaged, cause its putting out ac, and the winding leaks to the case when hooked up .
No built in rectification, just rated in DC because they knew it would get rectified in any normal application of the day.

Sometimes old transformers randomly develop leakage between windings....I used to use a 50's isolation transformer for working on not chassis radios 'safely'....one day the primary and secondary developed STRONG leakage on me while I was using it. I discovered that the hard way, then retired it...
