Good Pictures, I have two good posts to help you!. Watch yourself with this radio ( note: keyword Philcophone also has no radio dial probably a shop intercom from the 1930's) it's all metal could be a electrical shock hazard!. The humming is caused by a dried out electrolytic capacitor, the one in the silver container to the top left!. As a start all capacitors should be changed out, good luck with your restore!.
