Anyone have one these pretty cheap? Would rather it be local to the Seattle/Olympia area as I wouldn't have to pay for shipping :)

    I got nothing. I use plastic bins. Tube caddies seem to be expensive and expensive to ship.

    I like soft sided fishing tackle boxes for small items like tubes. You can put felt or shelf liner in them for protection. They are adjustable for different sizes too. Something like this might work. I have used one for my soldering gear, cable ends, and tools needed for installations. Much easier to store in the floorboards, back of van or truck bed than hard cases too.

    I've got a tube case like that, I just can't remember if is RCA, GE or Sylvania. I just know it is red and black or red and blue.
