Re: Care of Rare Valves
OFF TOPIC ?
Very interesting as it is - the aging process of the molecular structure of glass - I was hoping that folk would let us all know their methods of packaging & storing of rare valuable valves. eg. Bubble-wrap versus corrugated cardboard, heavy duty cardboard boxes versus B&Q type cheapo plastic lidded boxes, etc.
Argus 25's point about vertical storage of valves is well worth noting. I also note that some 1920' & 30's valve boxes have internal cardboard formers which are shaped to take the base & its pins at the bottom, whilst others are designed to take valve's heads & top-cap downwards. But then, I've a 1928 Scott-Taggart ST400 TRF which had its SG valve mounted horizontal.
