- In essence, if the 8877 is installed as designed - with the grid grounded directly all the way around with the proper "ring" of finger stock, the tube will not oscillate. If, the grid is grounded usi

- Of course! The "plate" (anode) resonance is not fixed, instead it varies according to the total lead inductance between the anode (10pF for the 8877) and the Tune-C -- so, no tube has a "plate" reson
