Another important point. It's rare for all of the caps in the series 
string to fail.  Only one gone bad will cause lots of hum.  I use my 
trusty Simpson 260 on the middle Ohms range to read charge and discharge 
current as I reverse the leads, and compare each cap to the others.  A 
bad one will have a lot less charge and discharge current.  I have three 
Titans, so I've been through this several times.  Only once when I've 
replaced one has another one come up bad in the string.
