I was referring to the price of new, not NOS. A pair of brand new 
813s will be less than a brand new 3-500Z by perhaps $50 more or 
less, but in the big picture of amplifier building, that isn't much, 
IMO. The nostalgia factor with 813s is large, but I think a single 
3-500Z would be better in the long run.

Even better than that would be a single GS-35b for about $100 plus 
shipping and no socket needed (mounts directly to the chassis).

Different strokes, as they say.
