I know about some sets having a hum but I have 2 other Hippos that don't have this issue.

As I said before you can even hear the hum when tuned to a station.

I don't know what you mean by a "tracer" - your knowledge dwarfs mine.

I purposely routed the replacement filter caps away from the AC line cord and those caps are brand new out of the plastic 20 mf Sprague Atoms.

I can poke around some more or put this Hippo away as a back burner project (after all I only spent $10.50 on it) and move on to my Crosley 516 Tombstone and my latest acquisition a Philco 42-350.

Thanks for all the input everyone.
