Capacitances
Cg',k'h' (nom)7.5pF
Cg",k"h' (nom)7.5pF
Ca',k'h' (max)0.3pF
Ca",k"h" (max)0.3pF
Ca',g' (nom)3.75pF
Ca",g" (nom)3.75pF
Ca',a" (max)0.5pF

An internal grid to grid bypass capacitor of approx 50pF is incorporated
(note the second capacitance figure is listed in the EVS data as Cg",k"h' but this may be a typo as Cg",k"h" makes more sense)

*: per section
**: with a total anode dissipation in excess of 16W forced air cooling is required
***: at Va=300, Vg=-1
