Based on your last post, I would not worry one bit about that hum. (Obviously your TT101 was built for 120V.) But if you like to worry, I still would not go to a lot of trouble and expense to move all the electronics out of the tt chassis, if indeed it could be done with the TT101, which as H pointed out is quite complex, and quite a bit more complex than an SL1200.
Do you like the EPA100 significantly more than the UA7045? I always thought those Victor tonearms might be sleepers and have been tempted at times to buy the 12-inch version.
The TI Shield is not going to kill the hum, because the hum is of mechanical not electrical origin, but you might find it benefits the sound and is definitely worth the effort. I ordered a 12 X 12" sheet and cut it in the shape of an LP, so it fits under my tt mat and does not show. For best results, it should be grounded to the tt chassis. If your platter is made of anything conductive, e.g., alu, that should take care of itself. Let me or let us know if the TI Shield cleans up the sound in surprising ways.
