yes the primary is toast.
I would follow Codefox's advice though I am not sure why primary and why not the rectifier tube.
Also strange that there was a pop - transformers usually just start smoking if overloaded.
This is why I think it may be a defective transformer in the first place, but do your due diligence in checking everything else before using another one.
