[R-390] storage

What does the cement floor do to the radios?   I know it will ruin a car
battery as well, but would like to know what the failure mode is.  Does it
cause additoinal corrosion?  Also, if the radio is setting on rubber feet,
is it OK?

My Drakes have rubber feet under them, but of course the 390's don't (and
some of the parts sitting next to it).

Keep in cool, dry, dark place.  I've never been able to find one those
places in my house. The closest I've come is the refrigurator.(not the
freezer).  I keep film and some of my tubes in there, boxed and wrapped in
aluminium foil.

I store larger radios and stuff in my garage which is attached to the house
so in the winter it never freezes.
Do not place items on a cement floor!

Place radio on a layer of plastic.  Then use two pieces of wood to raise
radio off the plastic.  Cover with a cotton cloth completely.  I use an old
bed sheet.  Do NOT cover with plastic.
