Philco 49-909
#5

If the 117Z3 were dead, the radio would also be dead.

Codefox has given you excellent advice; what he said is exactly what needs to be done to your radio. The humming is caused by bad electrolytic capacitors. These need to be replaced, along with all paper capacitors, else the radio never will work correctly.
