[Johnson] Valiant better

Have very recently discovered the difference between a 10pF cap and a
.001mF cap is somewhat larger in 'practice' than in 'intention'.
Sigh - it's hard to find on the schematic vs the rig - I changed it out
last night and got distracted - even unclipped it this afternoon and
tested it - it's .001, however C75 (for those of you following along in
your books) wants to be just a few orders of magnitude less capacitance.
Anyway, now the Grids resonate - I'll put the shields and ugly wiring
back and see how we are, though I imagine the 'runaway' problem remains
unchanged...
Maybe I oughta blog this restoration.... naw, the Potential for
Terminal Embarassment is just too great!
Cheers
