Something I found with external anode valves (4CX250 - 8877 sizes) is 
that the actual capacitance from anode to ground when they're mounted in 
a chassis, not close up against side panels, is roughly double the Ca 
value in the data sheets. The data sheet value is measured in very 
isolated conditions.
