Don't condemn that transformer just because it's not pretty. May be fine. You can ohm it with a meter and get an idea. You can, as mentioned, pull the rectifier tube and check voltages. I'd recommend clipping out the line cap 1st to avoid any fireworks
If it IS bad, find a used one, sub or parts radio.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
