model 20 hum (detector circuit?)
#38

I agree that is where the problem is. I had already done everything that everyone has suggested before I posted this request and I have redone everything again with no results. There are now only two items I question. One is the 250uuf capacitor #16 off the detector plate and the replacement interstage transformer that I put in new. (It might have leakage feeding back into the grid circuit of the 27, but it's not affecting the 71's and they are biased off the same circuit.)
