Yes.  When the coarse and fine are all the way up, it's noisiest.  I will do as you've suggested.
But if fine is all the way up and coarse is all the way down, it's still quiet?

Not present, or very, very faint.

Followed Paul's and Deke's guidance and desoldered at all the points on TwoQuiet where black leads land.  These connections are now clean.  With no signal, hum is nearly inaudible until -9dB on the coarse attenuator, where it becomes audible.  At 0dB, it is as before.  So, not sure where to go from here.  I defer the the sage wisdom of the most august members of this forum.  :)

No.  Dead quiet with inputs shorted.

No.  Dead quiet with inputs shorted.
Then your amp is working properly.
