I am finally getting organized after my move.
It is only when you have to pack and move do you realize how much stuff you have.

Every time I needed a tube meant searching though boxes and bags of loose used tubes, sometimes not even finding the one I needed.

Well I am happy to report that I have finished sorting, bagging and tagging all of my tubes, and created a searchable database that identifies the quantity and LOCATION of every tube in my collection.

It took some time but it was well worth the effort.

To give you an idea, I ended up with almost 2300 tubes, consisting of 540 different radio and TV types.

I am very proud of this accomplishment and wanted to share it with all of you.

Maybe I am just looking for a couple of ataboys!

Ataboy, I imagine you did it on a pc ??

::: Atta Boy: Sounds like somthing I need to do but I only have about 1000 tubes but too many of them are TV tubes. Bob

Yes, I'm quite familia with Excel, you may want to try Access, as you can make a searchable database, reports, etc, but that may be a little over kill.

Gary:
I moved into this house twenty five years ago, and have been trying to get organized ever since. What would you charge to come down Atlanta way and orginize my mess?
