Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I'm wondering about the thing that looks like a cross between a filter cap can and a tube, it's the farthest-left can-like thing in the picture, marked T161. Is this a pluggable transformer or something? Anyone know anything about this amp? So far it works but has a very loud hum that doesn't change with volume. I've been told not to rush in and change out all the paper caps as they impart a unique sound.
Here's a link to a detailed (large file) bottom-view if interested:
