I don't have any specifics on this one but, I would, personaly, look at the 
power supply.  The "hum" sounds a like grounding problem to me like a bad 
capacitor and this "ground noise" is making it through to the final stages of 
the amp - since you've already replaced the final.  My next step would be to 
look in the preamp stages.

Also, a service manual is available for $17.00 - if you are looking for one - 
from A.G. Tannebaum's site at http://www.agtannenbaum.com/
The page that lists available schems for Fisher is at
 http://www.agtannenbaum.com/f_cat.html

I'll keep looking, though. Good luck.
