Post Subject: Tubes in SaunaPosted by JJ Triode on: 11/19/2013

Romy:
I would suggest not to store tubes under the bench in an actively used sauna.  While the temperature alone will not affect them, the combination of heat and saturated humidity may lead to corrosion of the pins.  Also many bottles are held to bases with glue, and the glue may be weakened (though 6E5P and 6C33C may not have plastic bases, so the second issue may not apply to those.)

The tubes probably aren't a significant part of the storage volume compared to transformers, drivers, etc. anyway.
