Title: neat way to pack octal GT and smaller tubes Post by: Opcom on April 01, 2012, 09:10:33 PM I received a 6N7 packed in an unusual way. It was slipped into a short piece of that foam rubber a/c refrigerant line covering, the type meant to insulate and prevent condensation. I don't know what it costs compared to bubble wrap but if there are scraps of it available free from the local a/c repairman, there's a savings. "Armafelex" is a brand name of it.

What would make it even more indestructible would be to get a piece of the insuation tubing and stuff the tube in it, then take a piece of PVC pipe and put the insulation with the tube in it in the pipe, then box it.
