Who has the best price on white tube boxes? I have several hundred to
sort and they need to be stored in an orderly fashion. I will also be
using tube crates. Thanks, Randy

Gawd, I hate to admit it, but AES seems to win with tube boxes. I've
bought ones from Radiodaze but they don't have all the 'correct' sizes
and they seem a tad on the 'cheap' side the way they fold, etc.
Of course you could use spark plug boxes and such....

I find that an initial investment in real boxes that fit my tubes and
stack right is soon forgotten when I find my stuff reaching some
semblance of order. If I had 150,000 ersatz tubes I'd probably store
them loose in beer boxes for economy But I'm also only dealing with
a few hundred keepers so the boxes work for me even at ~25 cents a whack.

Why would you want to sort tube boxes?

Sorry, it is Friday night I am also looking for the cheapest price on the
boxes, although I have never sorted them. I just fill them with a tube.

I use the ones from Antique Elec. Supply. Some of the others have poor
size selection. One thing about the Antique 7/9 pin miniature boxes,
the end flaps are not cut for easy insertion. But, they will go in OK
if you roll them over a flat surface when closing each end.

Far cheaper than tube boxes...

- Biz WDHCO - hey, I was just thinking outside the "box" !

HI HI HI I kill myself...

Some one on the Antiques Radio Group once suggested using the little yellow
envelopes for change. I purchased a cheep box of 1000 and use them
successfully. Once labeled they are placed in shoe boxes.

I find it an economical compromise for storage. And holding little parts
too.

I find that generic zip lock sandwich bags and a magic marker work well. You
can get the snack bags for the miniature tubes.
