Any ideas of where I can obtain new vacuum tube cartons?
I have a 100+ octal based tubes that I have tested and need to store safely.
I have searched the web without result.
Any help would be appreciated.

Antique Radio Supply -- www.tubesandmore.com.

They have individual white boxes, and they have "egg cartons" for
storing lots of tubes.

Or, they did the last time I looked...

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.

Antique Electronics Supply in Arizona is a good first start.

Angela Instrument (Maryland) has a nice deal on tube boxes. Most are
"branded" but have a good price.

Vacuum tube cartons are usually expensive. I would not have a source to
recommend you.

But if your purpose is only that of storing your octal tubes safely, you may do
it the way I do it.

I first wrap the tube with newspapers paper and then push it into a carton
cylinder salvaged from toilet paper. I am not sure whether the inner cylinder of
US toilet paper is rigid enough to do the job. Our is perfect.

Then I write tube type on the carton side.

Yes, prune juice certainly gives you a good run for your money!
