Goes without saying, the xfmr test is performed without the rectifier tube. And best remove all tubes first.

I also agree with Terry, if I see the xfmr does not seem abused, I will test it only once before I put in the rectifier after the recap. After that I just put in tubes and the load and test the whole thing.
Transformers do go bad, but 1) rarely, 2) it is often quite visible if they are damaged.
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.
