By golly it looks like power supply ripple has been pretty decisively ruled out. I went back and reread the thread and looked more closely at the pics. Post#43 shows the raster as having nice straight sides (no hourglassing), indicating no appreciable ripple in the B+ feeding the H output stage (good). And post#58 shows the CRT displaying strong video which would rule out a heater-cathode short in the CRT (which would kill the video).
So.. it kinda looks like the hum is arising somewhere in the video chain 'upstream' of the CRT. And since the sync is affected too, the hum must be occuring upstream of the sync take off point. (Just guessing, but the sync may be picked off at the vid. output which was common practice in the old stuff.) It could possibly be nothing more than a H-K short in a tube. Sometimes tapping the tubes will show up an intermittent that won't show up on a tester.
If it ain't a tube, maybe you could post a pic showing the video amp and sync areas of the schematic.
