Well, fired the radio up last night with all known good tubes.

Hum persists. :blush::blink::bored:

Maybe I have some bad resisters.

I'm hesitant to think it's a wire dress issue (had to move two + leads to mount my replacement caps under the big power supply multisection canister) because it had the exact same hum before I did anything to the radio.

I guess I'm going to start testing resisters tonight.

[QUOTE="479tx, post: 335520, member: 22199"] Well, fired the radio up last night with all known good tubes. Hum persists. :confused1::mad::blush::blink::bored::ohmy: Maybe I have some bad resisters.
