REPLY:

The first question is what is the frequency of the oscillation? Grounded grid
tubes rarely oscillate at the operating frequency. Most likely you have a VHF
parasitic, in which case a parasitic suppressor in each anode lead should solve
the problem. 

Parasitic suppressors are not particularly critical as to value of either coil
or resistor. Just copy from any similar design and it should be ok.
