Now to me, if the lead(s) length is correct, and the gain high enough,
the internal capacitance of the tube along with the inductance of the
lead(s) could make up a VHF oscillator.

One other factor not mentioned is the Q of the VHF circuit, which has
a great effect on gain.  If the VHF Q is very high, oscillations are
almost guaranteed.

Indeed, Bill. The higher the VHF Q at the anode circuit's resonance, the higher the gain at that frequency, and the greater the chance of regeneration. The relationship between VHF-Rp, VHF-Q, and VHF gain is that all are proportional.


VHF Q is usually not known in most amplifier
circuits, and having a parasitic suppressor circuit is just added
insurance.  I wouldn't be without one.
