Wow. That sure beats my "dump 'em in the little place in the back of the tube
tester where the leads are stored" method...

Filing cabinets work well, Index card files work better, I have a two-door cabinet
six feet tall for many of mine. I have my R-390A/URR in a three foot tall Bud
cabinet, the space behind the speaker hides a big cardboard box that has all
the tubes related to that radio and its test equipment. There are three tube
caddies that hold related spares in the shack. Beyond that there are piles and
bags of tubes slightly related to each other pile hither and yon. They come in
too fast to find places for them,... not that they come in all that fast, but the
spaces for them just don't open up! Avalanches here are dangerous!

I have a whole room in my basement devoted for tube storage. I have metal
shelving surrounding the room. I buy the sterolite containers from Walmart
and fill them by tube numbers. One tube number per container. I stack the
containers on the shelving putting the less used numbers on the bottom of the
stack. Last count was a little over 10,000. Every one NOS. My problem is I
should stop buying certain numbers. I have way too many but I still buy them if
the price is good. Scott

I've been back and forth over this ground a number of times. I keep something
like 2000-4000 tubes here to serve as spares. 80% of these are used pulls that
have been re-boxed. Space is at an EXTREME premium here so that is a key
factor in my thinking. I started out setting aside a separate box for each radio
with the spares for that radio in it. This turned out to be grossly inefficient--
space-wise, so I abandoned that approach. What I do now is keep the tubes in
