Hi Jason, there will always be a slight level of hum on this type of set.
If you have the set running for a while you can unplug it (safety) and see if the main can is getting hot. If not more than merely warm then the caps should be OK.
Note that as it has a frame aerial then turning the set may give much better pick up of any particular station.
