OK then I would not touch it. Your B+ is OK.
keep in mind, these voltages were measured with 1000 Ohms per volt voltmeter. Which means, if you measure it at, say, 200V range, you'd load your circuit with 200K resistor. Which is an extra load. And you are probably using a DMM.
The difference between the ends of the Field coil is still more or less the same. So leave it be.
If you are so inclined, do an experiment: take a 150K-200K resistor and put it right across your B+ when measuring it (be careful not to get shocked).
See if that changes that voltage.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
