I have 19 boxes of the type used for storing correspondence that measure 10 
x 12 x 15 (HWD).  One box has all my loktal tubes, one has all 5 volt 
rectifiers, one has all 6A-, 6B- and 6C-, etc.  I also have a database set 
up telling me which tube is in which box.  Tubes that are loose or in their 
own boxes go in the same storage box but my database shows them separately 
so I know how many of each I have - it makes for easier searching.
