Nice! The hum is most likely due to electrolytic capacitors that are bad due to age. Probably should not plug it in again until the entire unit is "re-capped". That involves replacing all of the electrolytic and tubular capacitors. You risk letting the smoke out if you try to run it before that is done!

Welcome to the Phorum! Lots of help here.
