Where is the best place to store electronic parts?

Since the last major modification of my VTL amps there are too many valuable and good parts left. Moreover, I plan to restore some more vintage units for secondary(probably 100%DIY system.)

Now keeping everything knit among all the electronic parts(which I certainly will preserve for future projects) becomes an issue.

How would you store a vacume tubes if there is no dedicated carton box?

Saves $$$$$
A combination of Sean and Timo's comments is fine!

I just transferred my collection of (mostly) 9 pin minis to a plastic tackle box. You can fit 4 6922s or 12AX7s in each small compartment and I put the few EL34s and 6v6s into the larger slots, then there is the whole bottom for bigger things. Course, on ebay you occassionally see the TV repair tube carriers for sale, sometimes even full of tubes. But right now I don't have nearly that many that I would need something that big.

Not to get entirely off your subject here, but which VTL's do you have, what mods have you done to them, and with what results?
