inventory system? How do you track the tubes and chips?
So unless you really worry about static, get one of those multi-drawer
storage cabinets that has like 10 rows of like 8 little drawers each,
usually used to hold screws or whatnot.
That way you can just label the front of each drawer with what IC it
holds.
I've learned over 30 years that antistatic meaures even for TTL is
a good idea. However it was about 18 years ago it was proven to me
that mild ESD hits to even TTL degrades them.
I line the bins with black foam or Al foil.
