thanks mike.
yes, the two #10 caps were originally in one case together, and i did indeed replace them with .1uF caps.
in the info i have, part #36 is a 325 ohm wirewound resistor. i have replaced it with a 330 ohm resistor.
i will be checking for bad solder joints and wiring errors tonight.
in searching the forum i came across a thread where someone had gotten two of the speaker leads mixed up and got a hum from that.
i thought i labeled things pretty well, but just in case this happened; would i still hear the radio stations if two of the wires got crossed?
when i saw the term, "hum bucking" in reference to the transformer on the speaker, it reminded me of a guitar pickup, and if those are wired backwards you are sure to get hum.
just a thought.
