High Pitch - Like Static

yes it's me again. Garrard SL 95B. This TT has a shure mkII cartridge. So I was able to get rid of the hum by:

1) removing cartridge holder and burnishing arm connections
2) resoldering cartridge connections to cartridge holder
3) burnish cartridge holder connections

Hum is gone. I may not have noticed because of the hum, but now when I turn the volume up without album on tt, I heard a high pitch tone (like static, but not that fuzzy staticy sound).

Could this be a needle issue? The needle is as old as the tt.

Thanks again.
