The OP does now seem to have taken AC voltage readings at the input to the rectifier. His moving coil meter is perfectly adequate for the job, although it's not obvious what meter range he's using. I assume it's 300VAC?

As for the new auto-ranging meter it no doubt has a comprehensive user manual showing how to take AC and DC voltage measurements? The 300UP DC range on his m/c meter would be perfectly good for checking the DC side of the rectifiers though.
