I've found that mains is hardly ever a nice sine wave. All of my transformer
outputs look a little wonky in some way.
Are you looking at the output of the transformer while the bridge
rectifier is still connected? You may be seeing distortion due to a
bad diode in the bridge which may then explain some of the additional
problems downstream.
