How do you store your tubes?

@ Structo...

Ow! my funny bone hurts!



Peace.

I store all my noval tubes at absolute zero in a cryogenic vault.
This way there is no degradation at the molecular level.
The inventory is data based and a robot fetches each tube after being
requested.
The tube is never handled by human hands, which we know can deposit skin oils on the surface of the glass and create a hot spot.

The octal tubes are a whole different story.

I was just about to say I store mine that same way, but you beat me to it.

I like tube boxes and an Ikea CD shelf, will soon need robotic vault though.

Tom, I am trying not to imagine how you would store a factory case of RCA blackplates!

My tubes are stored in amps

Can't keep enough on hand. The old and NOS ones I do have are either stored in plastic bin drawers and beer flats.

I store mine in my amps. If I somehow end up with an extra, I have to build an extra storage unit...
