1964 Mercury M-12a noise

My M-12 is the same. I recently got a 1958 Jet and had the amp tech install modern Switchcraft input jacks and there is no ground hum when I unplug the guitar. Let us know, because if it does this with the guitar plugged in, there are other issues that can be addressed.

Thanks for the reply Journeyman,

A three prong cord was attached. The noise occurs with when nothing is plugged into the amp and when the guitar was plugged in.

I did notice today that after playing through the amp for about 30 mins, the noise was better, not great but better.
