Do any special precautions need to be taken with
storing vacuum tubes?
Are these something that can simply be tossed in the attic and forgotten
about until needed? I recently got a fair number, and expect to get
more at some point in the future.
A lot of the ones I got are simply dumped in an old metal tool box.
Just don't break them (and they're tougher than they look) and they'll
be fine. I have tubes that I've stored pretty much like that, from
attic to basement to storage locker...since I was a kid, some of them I
took out of junked TVs 35 years ago, and I use them for repairs today.
