Notice negative of electrolytic filter caps do not connect to the same place. One cap connects between cathode of your 84 tube and center tap of high voltage winding on your power transformer, not chassis.
Original caps were 12 & 16 mfd. You could use 22 mfd @ 450 volts for replacement.
Is the hum there with volume down?
Speaker frame being magetized, not a problem.
