Default Re: Care of Rare Valves

SORRY, David, I led it up a muddy creek.
In answer to you question, all new valves that are considered worth it are in their boxes, stored vertically in ally flight cases.
All used and tested non miniature valves are in open plastic mushroom trays with a bit of corrugated cardboard between them.
The bulk of the miniature pulls are vertical in open trays which are full to stop them rattling about.
The whole lot are on steel racking, about 50m of it!
I did think that I could find anything until I recently wanted an EF80. I have a tin trunk with a few hundred just dropped in, I can't get precious about them. Now I can't find the trunk! Its been slid behind something else and hidden.
I do have another big plastic box with all the new P series and eht rectifiers etc which will get chucked out when I next run out of rack space. I don't do TVs anymore.
The used TV stuff is in a plastic dust bin!
