[R-390] Re Tube storage

[flood at Krohne.com]

Randy,

Thanks for this question.  I too was running out of space.  That prompted 
me to start on a serious testing run.  I had the tester at work and tested 
loads while eating lunch every day!  It was a good way to thin out the 
heard and I threw away hundreds of bad ones   I especially like Roy's 
System and with his permission will use it here.  However I have a better 
system for you.  Send them all to me and let me worry about it!  Actually 
I was thinking about a new fad.  You all remember the Pet Rock of the 
'70s?  Well if people are willing to spend money on a rock that does 
nothing,  I want to RTV good for nothing tubes on a small box and light up 
the fil. with cheap wall warts!  Yes, you guessed it "Pet Tube".  I'm sure 
that we could get loads of money from this, (especially from the 
audiophools as we could convince them that putting one of these on top of 
your computer will make the computer audio sound better), put old wall 
warts back into service, and finally, find a use for all the lonely tubes 
that have no practical use these days or even useful tubes that are bad 
but at least light up!  I'm willing to licence this product to someone in 
the UK for the "Pet Valve" project.   Enough rambling, this must be a side 
effect of the codeine from the cough meds the Dr. just cave me. 

Happy New Year All!
