Nice looking set!
Using the ground via the outlet may increase the interference level as the interference is on the hot and neutral power leads. All three wires are in very close proximity to each other. Electrically speaking the wiring looks like a large capacitor coupling the interference from the hot and neutral wires to the ground wire.
You might try using an adapter (3 pin to 2pin) so the the ground connection is not connected. This may help or connect a different ground to the radio's chassis. Cold water pipe or if you have hot water baseboard heat the baseboard element is good.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
