Olden Days being pre-WWII, that is.
I've noticed most (if not all) if the PP-triode RF PAs of that period
don't show the use of any parasitic suppressors in the grid or plate
leads. Also a deck I have (exact vintage unknown) using PP triodes
doesn't include them.
How did they get away with this?
there wasn't TV, or VHF at the time. Don't think we'd pioneered our way
that far north on the spectrum by that point.
I've never put power to the above-mentioned deck, but have another one
where I tried to follow the same practice (I just used copper strap
for the plate leads) and I appear to have an intermittent parasitic,
so will be incorporating some suppressors in the plate leads.

In my opinion, every T-368, BC-610 and any other rig that does -not-
have any sort of VHF parasitic choke suppression, needs to be
retrofitted. If, for no other reason, than to exhibit 'good engineering
practices', and further help to eliminate stray RFI into devices that
act improperly as radio receivers.
