The description you just gave says the rectifier winding is good and operating. It should be 5 volts AC (F-F) not 50 and it will read a very low ohm value. It is the least likely winding to fail in a power transformer and I have never seen a bad one in 30 some years of doing this.
A light red on the rectifier tube filament is very normal.
