I think it was out shortly before the end of WW2 as a video amp/driver for 
radar purposes - a very similar application. Its little brother is the 6AC7. 
Funnily enough, I've never had parasitic problems with the 6AG7, although I've 
always used a 47 ohm grid stopper and 68 ohm screen stopper, with no shunt 
coils.
Thinking back, I can't remember any 813 PAs that had parasitic suppressors, 
although that doesn't mean that they may not have needed them! This includes a 
number of commercial (as opposed to intended for amateurs) HF tx's.
