Drowning in a overloud buzz/Humm. Have already changed filter caps,bakelite blocks( caps),out of speck resistors,checked many grounds. Changed & tested tubes,usual voltage checks, removing 6j7's an still have buzz/humm.Running short on ideas!
Thank everyone for any direction resolving

Correct on model ID 37-84 NOT 27
Finally after 50 plus years I'm back into the hobby again. It's like trying to relearn a second language some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't! Could be fun now considering my son is now into old radios and tube technology!
