Removing the tube and finding an oscillation stops doesn't mean the tube
itself is at fault; it just means the tube is apparently oscillating in the
circuit. Very likely, there is something in the 7360 circuit that has gone
away, resulting in the oscillation problem. That'd be a much cheaper fix
than a new tube.

Check all voltages on the tube. Check or replace all bypass and blocking
capacitors around the tube.

No, there is no pin-compatible replacement for a 7360.
