Philco 16B tombstone
#2

Let us know if you have replaced all the electrolytic and paper capacitors and cleaned all controls, switches and tube sockets and tube pins. Could also be a failing carbon resistor, I'd replace all in the audio amplifier section to start.

Then if you have same noise with volume control all the way down, problem is almost certainly after the volume control in the audio amplifier/speaker or voltage divider areas.
