Old time home brewers will remember the 6AG7.  I think the max frequency for 
full ratings is something like 10 MHz (whoops it was Mc).  They are one of the 
worst offenders I have ever met at parasitic oscillations.  Used in the Central 
Electronics rigs, they needed resistors across the tank coils.  Even then, they 
would still take off.

As a kid, and not knowing what I was doing, I tried parasitic suppressors in 
the cathode, screen grid, control grid and plate - sometimes all at the same 
time.  By the time I got one stabilized, I was down to 1 watt output.   If you 
could get one of those tamed, the 811 and 812s were easy.
