Since your radio uses loctal tubes, you might want to check this before you get in too deep. http://www.philcoradio.com/tech/hum.htm  Been there, done that on a Zenith. Ditto on the output transformer. One side of the primary could be open. Had that before. In my case, the output was distorted and low. Can check for continuity or voltage on the plates on the output tubes.
If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything" Icon_confused
