Measured with a simple B&K capacitance meter (1kHz):
3-500Z grid to plate	5.0pF
3-500Z inserted into Johnson ceramic socket, recessed about 3/4" below 
aluminum chassis deck:  10pF
Seem right?  Kinda surprised that an extra 5pF just from sticking it in the 
socket...socket grid pins (all 3) are directly grounded to chassis.
