Maybe what I might do is trace from the power to the transformer and if the power branches off to a resistor befor reaching the trans then check it or anything else in between. I would think its the power in to the on- off switch one wire then look for the other power wire where that one goes. Unless maybe you are using an outlet that has a dimmer on it maybe. either way the primary should be 115 or 120 volts unless the transformer is bad. Ok I looked at the schematic, did you check for any output on the secondary? And those caps at the transformer c 183 and c184 don't have anything to do with the power going into the trans, if they were holding back in some way they would explode so that's out. Check the secondary for output. The 62 volts you speak of sounds like half the line voltage.
