I think the story that I heard was that Woodson was run by Bud Ross' brother-in-law. The basic build of the amps is very similar to the Kustom amps, but I don't think that there were any Kustom boards directly used in any Woodson amps.

If the hum is in fact 60 Hz, it could be as you said a bad filter cap or a grounding problem. You can try bridging another filter cap across each of the two main filter caps to see if the hum reduces.

You said if I understand it correctly, that there was a problem with a broken pot mount. The boards are grounded by the pot mounting hardware, so that may be a good place to look for a ground problem.
