In looking at the photo you posted I see several original caps in the radio.  Were these restuffed?  If not I would consider replacing them all.  Old caps in the works could contribute to the hum issue.  If they are original I would replace them all.  Not that expensive to do and prudent to do on any rebuild.  Old caps are a ticking timebomb.  Just my two cents worth.   Take care and BE HEALTHY!   Gary
