With the help of the fine folks on electronic restoration...the hum is GONE! The old girl sounds FANTASTIC! I'm ecstatic at the lack of static! LOL. Now I'm going to get aquainted with the fine folks over in "Cabnet Restoration" and see if I can do something with the 2.5 inch hole in the top and it not look like a five year old fixed it. I'm trying hard to not be giddy lol.

Thanks to all,
Dan
