model 20 hum (detector circuit?)
#51

Maybe there is some leakage between the windings of the power transformer.

With the power off lift the #26 the 1400 ohm resistor then check the resistance from center tap winding  #5,  (that powers the filimants of the 71s) and the center tap #6 of the power transformer.

With #26 resistor lifted and even with all the tubes in place there should be no continuity between these two points.  If there is that could cause AC hum.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
