Mike,

I dunno about normal ham prices, or what's to be expected at hamfests,  
but RF Parts lists these modern equivalent tubes.  The 3-500Z is the  
modern replacement for the 3-400Z - and may need slight changes due to  
being a tiny bit larger.

" First Quality Tube at a Competitive Price
These tubes carry 1 Year Limited Warranty (against manufacturing  
defects and workmanship) through RF PARTS.
$164.95 ea.     •     $329.90/matched pair First Quality Tube at a  
Competitive Price"

"RFP" line is the best quality graphite anode tube in the Eimac®  
format. Virtually an exact copy of the Eimac 3-500ZG
$359 per matched pair

" 3-500ZG Amperex
 An excellent graphite anode tube of quality equal to Eimac 3-500ZG.  
Late production made in France, and marked 3-500Z/8802.
These tubes carry 1 Year Limited Warranty (against manufacturing
