The ECC88 and another similar though not identical unmarked tube (6ES8/ECC189?) worked in the grounded grid amp position. Others may. I was planning to use the second triode in this tube to drive the second VCO, but found I had a lot of cross talk from VCO 1 to VCO 2, so I abandoned the idea. As there did not appear to be any crosstalk in the opposite direction, it is most likely a layout problem. René's Neon VCO uses this second triode to amplify the output of the VCO.
Initially my VCO was wired as per [https://web.archive.org/web/20170512111005/http://www.cgs.synth.net
The 5696 is a thyratron tube. On this tube I used a socket with a tube shield. This blocked interference from both magnetic and light sources.

I have had it operating across a range of at least six octaves, and it tracked my Roland 100M VCO perfectly.
This, and all of my other tube modules run off a separate power supply based on [https://web.archive.org/web/20171001113317/http://www.cgs.synth.net
