The humming/buzzing might be due to a leaky filter capacitor that has lost it's ability to filter out the ac ripple from the power supply.. I'd really start by the basics and replace the electrolytic caps before trying to get stations.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
