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.
They tend to get broken that way.
You might have to pre-heat the tubes
for a bit to have the getter clean up your vacuum but in general they
work as good as new still.
