Replaced the capacitors but all I get is a hum
#35

Andrew, you sprayed the tube sockets? Well, if they are the type made from two pieces of a material and are riveted together I can tell you from experience, they don't like any "wet" material on them. It creeps between the two sheets and carries any dirt etc. with it. I found that getting rectifier sockets "wet" with almost anything will result is causing shorts followed by smoke. Need to be careful on those sockets. Doubt it killed your radio, you would have seen smoke by now. Let things dry out well.
