Pulled the chassis and took a look.
Saw something of interest.
The E caps are in cans that screw in to a base similar to a light bulb.
One has 2 new caps installed to replace the old caps and the other can was still original, but loose.
Tightened it up and tried it and it plays fine with no humm.
Does need a new rubber installed which is used to rotate the dial.
Just turned it by hand.
Gonna try to sell this one.
Probably try Craigslist ad I don,t want to ship it.
Wish me luck!
