It's wild that this thread is still active from when I first started it over seven years ago...

I just found this thread and thumbed through all 102 pages.  Thanks to everyone who posted.  I did note a distinct lack of Little Dot love, so here's some variations of the MK VI+.  Mine still has stock tubes, but once I upgrade to some "Coke bottle" driver tubes I'll post my personal amp.

Tube amps can be very alluring to look at.

I have a question for the avid tube-rollers on the thread/forum.  How do you store all your displaced vacuum tubes?  So far, I've been replacing tubes on the MK III and MK VI+ with same-sized tubes, and repurposing the new tube boxes as storage for the old[er] tubes, but now I've gone from smaller round tubes to Coke bottle-shaped tubes and my logical shift left of boxes and tubes won't quite work.
 
Do you have some container for all your old/spare tubes, or keep them in their original boxes when possible, or have some other clever storage method?  Between the two Little Dots amps, I'm amassing quite a collection of unused vacuum tubes and would like to store them in such a way as to not damage them, especially long term.
 
Thanks!

Hhhmmm, I don't know if this helps. I have all tubes that I consider great and need in the future stored in 3 drawers under Rectifiers, Driver Tubes and Power tubes. Older pic below:
 

 
Then disregarded tubes or tubes I do not like I keep in original boxes and throw in the pot of the fake tree. See below:
 

 
I do also have some others stored in the garage in boxes. Also a few spare at work just in case my place burns down. So I can start up again quickly.

 
Tubes are used for this:

If you haven't already, you can get extra white tube boxes of all sizes from some eBay sellers. Having each tube in an individual tube box is an absolute requirement, I think.

Thanks Badas and Stereolab42 for your quick replies.  While I may not implement the fake tree standard 

 I do like the idea of getting a few extra boxes off of eBay and storing them in drawers for future upgrades/retrogrades.  Right now, I've got a small drawer shared with my displaced single-ended headphone cables filled with OEM boxes of displaced tubes.  Since my amps came with tubes preinstalled, I have exactly one less set of boxes than I do tubes, which again was OK 'til I swapped different shaped tubes.
 
Thanks again!

So nice. I like simple designs. Better on the eye.
