I will try to insert a resistor in every heater wire.

Ser.
1 2R2 resistor is enough.

wired 2 x 1R 3W res. and now the voltage is 6.6V

Thanks everybody

By putting the resistance on just one leg, it would unbalance the CT, which would cause hum (maybe not huge amounts, admittedly!). Best option would be to put a resistor in series with each end of the heater coil, as Sergio seems to have done.
Cheers,

I built 4 dlator units with the same tranny and a 2R2 resistor in serie with the filament.. Never had any hum issue.
