With the turntable cable unplugged and the volume reduced half-way (so not to blow the cone out) touch the cartridge's pins one by one: the one that is not GND should produce the loud hum.
If it does - this verifies your cartridge is dead or at least not doing its job.
If it does not, then see to it that it does first.

This is 46-1226 sch. Somehow it does not show the tube you referred to, the 7AF7.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
