There are quite a few on eBay, going for less than USD15 from the looks of
it. Go to ebay.com and search for "813 tube." You may as well keep it as a
souvenir.

As someone else said, ebay is an indicator of what buyers will pay for used items. For a price on
new tubes, try RF Parts.

I think they are listing ratings quite a bit less than the US 813.
The plate dissipation is over a 100 watts and they list the output
power as 100 watts. (0.1 KW). Course they may be running class A. I
think the ones I've seen were rated at close to 3000 volts on the
plate and on the order of 250 to 500 watts out depending on class and
duty cycle. I used to run the legal limit with a pair in grounded
grid. (Yup, tetrode in GG G). You could darn near read a newspaper
from the light off the plats.

One of the locals just picked up a pair for $10 or $15 each. OTOH that
is about the cheapest I've seen them.

As others have mentioned I'd watch e-bay and see what they are going
for.

It is only catalogue value. In my practice a Russian tube is much
"stronger" than an American one because uses the massive graphite anode
vs. tinplate.
