You did not have a rectifier and filter on the secondary did you?  The windings 
are specified in AC-RMS and if you measure DC on the secondary or peak AC you 
will get a higher reading.

I just bought a transformer, primary and secondary both spec'd at 120v. My line 
voltage is 

119.5 -- the secondary voltage is -- get ready -- 148v! The only thing I can 
think of is 

that this is supposed to be the voltage under load. But I didn't think that 
transformers 

were spec'd that way, normally.

It's a good thing I'm not building a helicopter or something.
