It seems the body of the volume/power switch is making physical contact with the chassis so the bypass cap isn't going to do anything. I did reroute the AC power to connect to a separate point on the chassis. That helped a bit.

It does seem that the really sensitive part is the side of the cap connecting to the grid. I'm thinking if I shorten that lead it may help.

Will also try a cathode resistor next.
