In the MLA-2500, the 1/4 wave anode resonance is below the grid 
resonance.  However, the 3/4 wave anode resonance is above the grid 
resonance.  This was the same amplifier that produced the two tubes which 
Eimac said died from gold-sputtering.

Murphy was right about things being more complicated than they look.
