Basically Eimac has dropped the 3CX 400 and 800 series although they do 
have a 3CPX800 which Henry Radio used in one of their VHF amps although 
I can no longer find a listing of it.
http://www.cpii.com/product.cfm/9/22/213 is a list of what I believe to 
be the present products aimed at the amateur service. What they do offer 
is about twice the price of the imported versions of the same tubes.
