Identifying Windings On Vintage Transformers?

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I'm extremely new to DIY audio, so please have patience with me. I have many, many old transformers removed from old tube audio gear and test equipment, and want to use them for preamplifier projects. Problem is, I have no idea how to identify the primary and secondary winding voltages, safely. Does anyone know of a safe, relatively easy way to do this? A method that a "newbie" like myself might understand, maybe with an Ohm/Volt meter and not 110v line voltage. I would hate to light myself up putting 110V on the 6v secondary, potentially creating 2013v on the primary....that would really ruin my day. :)
