To return to this thread:
Replacing TR714 fixed the hum. Also replaced TR712/TR715, new heatsink compound. New incandescent lamps. Removed the ugly green filters built in. Deoxited the heck out of everything. Bias adjusted. I increased the sensitivity of the VU meters because it's no fun watching them not move at all on low volume.
It sounds pretty good! It better, because I'm not recapping this beast. The CA1000 looked far easier than this multilayer chaos.
In other news I got a Fluke 179 for 65 bucks! Recently calibrated, no less!
Now all that's left is to re-veneer the cabinet. Going to pick up some plastic wood to fill in the bigger dents on the edges; I don't think timbermate is strong enough.
