_______________________________________________________________
No coil in series with the grid terminating resistor.  From the
grid(s), there is a 1 mHy coil to the bias supply, a pair of .02 mF
caps in parallel to the GTR, and from them, the GTR directly to
ground.  The GTR is 50 ohms, 90 watts.  The cathodes each have a 12
ohm 5 watt resistor directly to ground, with nothing else.  The
cathodes are not connected to the heaters.  Each tube has its own
anode suppressor, each one is a pair of 220 ohm, 2 watt resistors in
parallel with a coil of unknown inductance.  There are no other
suppressors such as ferrite beads, etc, visible on the schematic.
