Could it be replaced with an oil filled type used in transmitters ?

I suppose you could use any oil filled capacitor, as long all the specs are correct: 800 VAC or better, non - polarized, 1.75 to 2.00 mfd and the case is isolated. I think your correct about the hum being louder, but the amount of heat the transformer gives off after an hour and a half is what concerns me. The transformer has 39 filaments plus a few dial lights to operate.
