RE: Oscillation

If it were me I may not wish to change the grid resistors.

This thing worked for years with out a grid resistor change. I'd very carefully examine the sockets and the PCB- clean the board and sockets with hogs hair brush and flux remover .. follow up with alcohol.

I would swap the tubes from the other amp I know I am not having trouble with. Tubes can be a funny thing in this circuit.

I would swap the amp to the other panels after that to observe if no change.

Then if no further ahead - I would start looking at leakage and gain on those input driver transistors.

What do your PS look like , good amp vs. bad amp loaded to the same panel?

You have the advantage of a good amp for comparison in whatever you decide to do. You may need to truly eliminate the panel... by trying the good amp on each of the panels & observing.
