About the 5763:  See "Intrinsic Negative Resistance as a Cause of 
Parasitic Oscillations in Beam Power Tubes," by David Newkirk," for more 
than you want to know.  The 5763 is an exemplary example, and "may" be 
cured by adding a 100 Ohm non-inductive resistor between the screen 
terminal and bypass capacitor.  I personally practice Beam Power Tube 
Avoidance.
