I will have to rewrite my last post as it doesn't display properly on a phone.
It was perfect on a laptop.

Those readings across the speaker are within what is considered the normal range for hum in a guitar amp.  Are you using it in a particularly quiet environment?  Do you have other amps you have compared it to?

Thank you for your reply.

This amp belongs to someone else who insists the hum came into it recently.
To me it sounds a little noisy.I have heard quieter ones.I don't know anyone with the same model to compare.
I guess I will just have to give up on this one.
Thank you for all your help.
