[R-390] Re Tube storage

[b_hagen at sbcglobal.net]

I simply do not understand this problem. Why stock tubes? I simply go down
to my distributor, Main TV Supply, in Akron and buy what I need. Oh, I
forgot, this isn't 1950. I use the product box method, i.e., one box is
labeled 390, another 1F5, etc.

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!
