The 4CX1000/8166 is a fabulous tube ... I have about ten of them here 
that I acquired 10+ years ago from a broadcast station that closed 
down... I paid GBP £250 for the lot which were mostly pulls but a couple 
of new ones.

As far as the value goes... something is only worth what somebody will 
pay for it... in the case of these tubes it has to be somewhere between 
25% and 100% of the "new" price ... have a look at RF Parts, Surplus 
Sales and Tom Tubes to get an idea of what you would pay there and then 
have a look at Ebay item number 230618567050.

Mine are all in better condition (look better) but are nickel plated and 
have date codes around 8722 (Week 22, 1987).
