The "hum" is a classic indication of a failed capacitor. I do not know what you know about electronics so I will not go into all of the details about capacitors beyond the fact that most any very old tv's need them replaced. Not ALL will be BAD but it seems to be common belief that if they are not bad then they soon will be. It is debatable in my opinion. To me its relative to how much the tv will actually be used.
Your Philco probably has several common problems. I am a Philco fan and have a 56 21" table model myself. Very dependable and simple chassis.
