Philco 645 Hum-m-m-m
#6

Yes there is a very pronounced hum, I was using earphones.
Also it does not seem to depend on tuning, it is constant level across the scale.

What Ron said, plus

If the speaker is using a humbucker, is it wired correctly?

And, not sure that applies but just in case : have you seen if the hum depends on the antenna used, on teh position of teh radio relative to the wall, on the loads in your house turned on/off?

Also, do other radio exhibit the same hum or just this one does?
