Compare it to a xfmr from a similar radio (similar size xfmr and similar power requirements) while running for the same time. Transformers do get quite warm. But not very hot. However a real turn short (or many turns) will have a noticeable effect on the output voltage: if it is not there, then the xfmr is ok, and you might want to look at the load.
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.
