(BTW the transforme might simply use a thicker gauge wire for the primary, hence the difference. It does not affect the operation and if anything will add robustness as the primary is usually the one to go).
Tuned hum...we discussed it many times here.
It depends on what kind it is but often times it is a pick up from your home electrical wiring.
I do have it too, and it is the same in all radios and it goes away when a lighting fixture in the lobby is turned on.
You could try topo see if any breakers turned off or loads turned on affect it.
If you have the same hum in other radios of course; if it is unique, this might be different.
