I checked each of the bulbs, and they are okay. Since there are 5, and it is

Try the 300VAC range. If it shows a low reading, reduce the range
until the pointer reads over 1/3 scale.

Any ideas?

That wiring is not unusual. It is proper to do it either way.

Someone needs to measure the voltage at the transformer (voltage in and
voltage out). Remember that using a digital meter can result in measuring
AC voltages that are really not there. For this kind of work a older analog
meter is better. The voltage has to be measured at each connection until you
find one that is dead.

I would have to guess that if the transformer is buzzing, even a little,
it is getting voltage. Have you checked the bulb(s)?
