Amplifier Hum

I have an Aragon 4004 MKII which is emitting a humming noise from the amp itself. The noise is there regardless of volume, and it is not transmitted through the speakers. Someone told me that it may be transformer that needs to be replaced.

Does anyone here know if this is the problem? If it is, what does that entail -- i.e. shipping it to Aragon? Can this be fixed locally, or by myself? Should I not even worry about this problem?

Thanks for your responses. You have all provided advice to consider.

Matty -- perhaps you need an exorcist.

Gooddomino -- have you ever tried correcting the problem? Do you know if the transformer is a torroidal design?

Aball -- someone else said something about the laminations coming apart. I assume it is safe to touch the transformer while turned on?

Darryl -- what is an AH Offset? I be interested in researching it!
