First thing I'd check is all solder joints., not just the ones I did, but ALL of them. Also, check the tuning condenser, if it is dusty or dirty, that can be a cause of static. I clean between the plates using Dills pipe cleaners and rubbing alcohol. A dirty volume control could also be a cause of the problem. DeOxit red can be used to clean the resistance and wiper in the pot. Follow that with DeOxit gold lube and protestant if you like. Since you don't seem to have a band switch with that model, you won't have those contacts to clean, but DeOxit is used for that too.
