Yup. Tube, chassis, shields, etc, ad nauseam. Normally see a bit of
reactance caused by the parasitic (I love that word) reactances present in
the "dummy" resistor clipped across the anode, but in this particular case,
I see *way* more than usual. Would be nice to put numbers on the *way* more
part, but that's not gonna happen any time soon.
Speculate away gents!
