To all:
Tested with a lightbulb apparatus I had to Rube Goldberg together. Tested the apparatus first, bulb lit without problems.
First run - visual; Connected primary ends in series with the bulb, no glow. Grounded the secondary, and got a low glow.
Second run - w/DMM:Repeated but with the DMM now in series with the bulb. As in the first step above, primary ends in series with bulb and DMM, returned to same voltage, no reading on the DMM. Grounded the secondary and measured about .05 amps.
Inductance is indeed a wonderful thing...
So it would appear that the transformer passes this test?
