Sounds like you got a bad ground connection. Try this reverse the wire on the cartridge. See if there is a difference. Same with the ac cord. Try shorting the wires going to the cartridge. If that mitigates the hum you my have a bad cartridge but check the see how the tone arm is grounded to the chassis and make sure all of that is connected. Check C-26 and 27.
Good luck

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
