I would loose the polarized plug, at least temporarily, I see that this is an AM/FM set so I would go back to how the factory had it wired until you can rule that out. Some AC/DC sets do not like having the neutral and hot side swapped on the power switch since it's often on the back of the volume control, I also noticed that the FM and AM detector tubes have their heaters connected closest to common negative/AC Neutral at the end of the filament string. If it is not being caused by this, or a heater to cathode short, then there must be an open ground connection, or something incorrectly wired.
