Are the bolts that hold the transformer assembly together tight? Loose laminations can cause buzzing. Not the screws that mount it, the ones that go through the metal plates.

Awesome! I work on old audio gear (vacuum tube stuff) and build my own tube amps. It seems the old stuff never has vibrating laminations. New transformers sometimes vibrate because hardware is not as tight as it should...and it costs a ton!
