I doubt it. I've been replacing dial lamps with LEDs in nearly every Fisher that I own, along with some of my Philco sets. They have not caused any humming or interference at all.

What sort of antenna are you using? I have experienced interference at times just by walking past an operating FM radio, or standing in a certain spot in the basement, due to poor antenna placement. Moving the antenna usually cures that. If your Custom Electra is operating on a built-in antenna, an external FM antenna might help.
