Magnetic coupling!!

Magnetic coupling!!
Thanks folks!  
 
It was magnetic coupling. I disconnected the secondary side of the PT and moved it about 2.5 inches away from the OT and the hum was gone. I moved it back to original position and the hum was back again.  
Since the PT is already at the edge of the chassis, I've got to move the OT.  
 
Now I understand why Marshall tops are so wide ... to get maximum distance between OT and PT.  
 
But how do they reduce magnetic coupling in small tube heads?  
 
Thanks  
 
Carlos
