Estelle has a matching radio!

If you replace the filter caps yourself, I believe that some of the YouTube radio/tv restorers say that these GEs have rather flimsy circuit boards.

Since you have audio amides the hum I would forget about bothering to test outside of the case. Just replace the caps and put it back together, if it still doesn't work it is probably time to find a radio hobbyist in your area, try audiokarma.org
