Default Re: Storing / Sorting Resistors?

A little while back I decided to make use of a stack of old Chinese Takeaway plastic tubs to sort my resistors into one (preferred) value per tub. I say preferred value, as (unless I have a large number of them) I put non-preferred value ones in with the nearest preferred.

Yes, it does take a large number of tubs, and I didn't initially have quite enough, despite having amassed quite a collection over the years, but an appeal to colleagues for their used tubs, combined with eating a few more takeaways myself, and I got there.

The beauty is that I have an old cupboard into which the fit nicely.
