Tubes in their original boxes are easy to store; just line them up on
little shelves which have enough "lip" to keep them from falling off.
But what about tubes which are NOT in individual boxes? I currently
have boxes and boxes (shoe-box size boxes) of loose tubes (mostly 7-
and 9-pin and octal bases; plus a few bigger ones, such as 807/1625,
1619, etc.) Has anyone found a really-good way to store loose tubes?

Buy replacement boxes! Antique Electronics Supply stocks them, so do a
lot of hamfest tube dealers. They aren't expensive.
