Vacuum Tube Display Case

The next time you get a delivery - keep the box!

I use the expanding wood trays used for storing silverware in drawers. I use cardboard inserts in the individual sections to separate tube type/brands etc. You can find these at most any store that sells kitchen supplies or big box stores like Costco etc. Very efficient and will hold a lot of tubes which are easily identifiable.

Timing was good on this thread for me. I had mine scattered around in cardboard boxes like others. I just got myself organized by buying a wall mount adjustable open shelving unit at Home Depot. That was the easy part. I inventoried my collection with descriptions and (my) cost. Now that was work!

Mechans,
I have 6 or so bad tubes I can't seem to throw out either. Funny thing is that my bad tubes all came from (reputable) dealers. Some were received bad and some went bad soon after I got them. I was surprised about the amount of work involved to return a $100.00 bad tube once from a dealer. This guy was down right nasty to me. He said my tube testers are flawed. Hmmmm, the other tube he sent tested good as well as 3 more pairs I have here. Oh well, he did finally give in and send a replacement.

I think the 6moons reviewed sjrangleon ebane has tubes displayed in wood.

Most fishing equipment stores will carry plastic cases for storing lures etc. If you need a larger storage box go to a store that specializes in salt water fishing. If you want a higher quality case, go to a fly fishing specialty store, they have some real nice display/storage cases for fly tying supplies.
