Default Tube boxes

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.
