Maybe a filter cap is shorted? That would explain the audio hum. It could also be the cap across the AC line. SOmetimes they short and blow up, but don't leave any smoke or fire.

The best thing to do with these old sets is to bring them up after re-capping and not before. This way you don't potentially cause any unnecessary damage from a shorted cap.
