Default Re: Sorting your valves!

I went through a similar thing a few years ago. The few NOS boxed ones (about 100) are put to one side together. The boxes are stacked on end and are marked on the end of the box. This is the "only touch if absolutely necessary" box. The rest are in a block of storage drawers. I grouped them by base type, and put the most commonly used types together. The drawers are marked by base type and a + if popular types. Very popular types are marked with ++. It works fine for me as I don't often need to look for replacements and if I do, I don't have to look through a drawer of more than about twenty valves at a time. I don't have a huge stock though.
