In my experience with generic tube amplifiers (not specific to the Cit V), those symptoms point to two possibilities. First, you may have lost the NFB connection. That will increase the gain tremendously and also increase hum. Second, the amplifier may be oscillating at a frequency above the audio range. That almost always creates microphonics and hum, and can also burn out tweeter voice coils.
