[Sideband]

Don't touch the alignment, at least not yet. A droning buzz is indicative of smoothing problems and that will give you a 'Dalek' sound in worst cases. I would have checked the set before putting it back into the case. You can't do voltage checks or test anything else when it's all boxed up! Patience! Check first of all that the replacement transformer is indeed OK...easy, take all the valves out and just leave the pilot lamp to give a visual indication. If it's all cool after about 5 minutes then that is one problem definately cured.

You then need to check the wiring to the smoothing caps and output transformer to make sure that everything is OK. I presume you have replaced the 6X5 rectifier?
