The voltage from the secondary to the ground (middle screw) was weird
(see picture where it's 3.5 volts on one side, and 1 volt on the
other), which was wholly unexpected, but, probably
not important.

Not weird at all. The ground is electrically isolated from the
secondary of the transformer. What you are seeing is phantom
readings.

Hi,
That's why I still keep and use old Simpson 260.
Probably I use it more than Fluke day in day out.

Oh, yeah. I miss my old Simpson, and even my old Fluke 73 (damned thief).
When tuning a Woodward 2301 or 2301A (or similar device), digital meters
are to flakey to easily accomplish the task. I managed, without, but
once in range of desired output eyeballing and a feel comes into play.
Having a crappy fuel source really adds another layer of frustration.
The dumb-ass plant operators that muck the settings up bring on the urge
to punch something in the throat. :-)
