It may well have been an oscillation but it might have been something 
else that caused the tube to bias on in saturation.  In any case, one 
cannot call it a "parasitic" event since the amplifier was not operating 
in its normal configuration.  

Whether you "mistuned" the system or created a short somewhere by 
lifting the lid is not really germane to the issue of tubes that "go 
bump" while cut-off in standby.

  So Joe, you think it was an oscillation? ... sounds like it to me also.
