no issues with my DE LW3 (quietest pin I own in fact), friend has a TFTC with no hum. I would say a part missing, like a ferrite bead (as suggested), or a loose ground somewhere.
Doubting bad speaker, usually when a speaker goes bad though it still functions without noise (might crackle when you adjust the sound pot). My space shuttle did this, replaced the bottom speaker with a new $16 pyle, crackling went away (not surprising for a pin that's almost 30 years old).
