That's good news- I had a look over at Antique Radio Forums (always good to get a US perspective on these things) and I see that there seems to be a scam where Russian hard vacuum valves/tubes similar to 5U4G are being re-based and re-marked as 83s! They must be getting quite pricey for that sort of chicanery.
