Since I've run across a problem like this. I have a 49-905 that I just finished replacing all the electrolytic and paper capacitors. All tubes and resistors check ok. My problem is a hum. It gets louder with the volume control but never over powers a station. I checked all the wires and they appear to be dressed as original. Even though the tubes tested good I swapped them out 1 by 1 with no difference.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
