    How about with the gain all the way down, does the master still bring the buzz in and out?

    gain on 0 ...buzz still there , just quieter

      Have you tried other tubes in V1 position?
      And instead of clipping that 50uF cap to the plate, clip it to the other side of the plate resistor. Any effect on the buzz?

          Nobody’s made a “white/pink” noise joke yet??
          If I have a 50% chance of guessing the right answer, I guess wrong 80% of the time.

              Okay, okay.... How ‘bout this one:
              Orange noise (the worst kind of noise), is also known ass 1/Sl noise due to it’s tendency to improve linearly with skill level.

                So, of the schematics you received, none of them show the tone controls. But there is the d'Uur power amp drawing like in post #11. (edit: nevermind I see the pots are shown on the separate front panel board and what I thought were pots on the main drawing are connectors to the pots. Even so, the drawing in post #11 is accurate enough for everyone to work from)
                With master up, does turning all tone controls down to zero reduce or remove the buzz?
                Is this a circuit board amp? Are the tube sockets wired or mounted on the board? Can you post some pics of inside the chassis?
                What does the owner say about the history of the fault, just showed up overnight, or appeared gradually?

                    Have you tried Enzo's suggestion in post #9?

                        yes-pcb amp
                        sockets are pcb
                        turning down tone controls doesnt really affect it---the Gain pot does

                          Apologies. Missed that one.

                            Just watched the video you posted. It sounds a lot like noise from a ballast- florescent lights, neon lights, etc. Are there any nearby? If you had say a bad input or loop switching jack or an open circuit somewhere and were near the right source, it might sound something like that. Grasping at straws a bit, I know.

                            Edit: Make sure your AC plug ground is making it to chassis ground.

                              That crossed my mind too but i unplugged the lights to check that

                              i will check the amp ground

                                ac ground is good ...tried a ground lift too

                                also took the amp out to my garage to try it on different power
