If the hum is still there, there is a problem with the source voltage from the B++ rail that supplies the audio amp stage.
Are you sure that the hum is a 60 cycle ripple, & not a buzz caused by sync pulses?

Well it sure does sound like 60 hz it's sure loud enough and don't sound like a buzz but rather 60 hz .
