I have a BG 1208 with minty tubes, but the machine will not fire up. I would like to remove the tubes and boards and save them for future replacements if needed in the 1208 I am using. What is the best way to store them?

Does anyone need lenses or chasis parts for a 1208? Let me know.

Thaks,
Joel

I put them face down on a cloth. I've managed to crack a couple of faces putting them on wood.

I'd buy the HV quadrupler...

I had three extra minty tubes, so I just threw 'em in a box with some boards I shipped to Curt. Wink

Thanks everyone. I thought about selling the tubes, but as soon as I do I'm sure I'll need them.

I'll store them face down in my fruit of the looms to prevent browning, spot burn, and skid marks.

Peace,
Joel
