Hi, Phil.

I'm still not sure from your response whether the hum is coming from
one or both speakers, or a mechanical noise from the amp chassis
itself. If it's a mechanical noise, one can use a listening
instrument such as a medium length screwdriver, and physically touch
it to a part of the chassis while holding the handle to your ear.
Works like a stethoscope, and I find this useful to help isolate
mech noises.

I am sorry if I was unclear. The hum is from the amp itself.
Also, the meter lamps have stopped working.

You moved your abode, which means that the amp was shipped. Both of these
symptoms could be the result of severe shock, which is of course common when
things are shipped.

The hum could be due to something getting a little loose, mechanically. The
bulbs may have failed because their filaments were damaged by extreme shock.
