[GreenKeys] OT? Cats and Telexes

[John, W9DDD]

You know this reminds of a concern I have.

As one of those of a certain age, I suspect at some point storage will 
be in the future of my collection.

Are there recommended procedures for storing equipment.

I'm thinking that one of the things that need to be done is to tape over 
any openings to keep critters out.  What would be the best kind of tape 
to use?  I can certainly not recommend common masking tape or duct tape 
after having to remove the same from other things over the years.  
Gaffers tape seems to be designed to pull off clean, but I wonder about 
long term.  It's normally removed in the matter of days.

John, W9DDD
