[AMPS] Parasitic suppressors/another question,

[nj4f@erols.com (Steve Bookout)]

Hello All, 

I currently have a home brew amp which I need to finish which I can make
oscillate at the drop of a pin.

Would it be of interest to anyone for me to put new resistors in the anode
suppressors and check values before and after the 'event'?
