Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Hum appears out of nowhere on vintage integrated amp (all functions): is it toast/repairable ($...)?

If you want Vintage equipment to operate as new, be prepared to extensively service the unit early in your ownership of the unit.

There are lots of possibilities for this to occur-
Cold solder joint
Cap aging
resistor/transistor aging (leaves open circuit when warm)
etc.

Happy Listening
