Like Gary said, that rx will be a bit deaf on 15m and especially 10m. It likely needs a good alignment to bring back some sensitivity and the tubes should be checked. the hummmmmm is most likely due to bad filter capacitors in the power supply. As for getting a shock from touching the speaker output, welcome to Boat Anchors R Us. Sounds like a hot chassis. It may go away or get less of a problem when the filter capacitors are replaced and if not then now you know why modern gear has a three wire grounded power cord connected to the chassis.
