Hi Al, What is the voltage on the resevoir cap, if you are rectifying 3.15 as bi-phase you may only get about 4.5 on the cap as the input to the 317. This could be a bit low.
Try a bridge rec across the whole of the 6.3 (disconnect the CT) and see if it works better. You then need to look at the dissapation on full load.
