[sdiy] Trays for through hole resistors?

[Altitude]

Thanks for everyone's input.  A lot of good suggestions.

I did find something that will work for me and it is these:

I know that these are wide enough since they are used in the same tackle box
type case I bought at walmart way back when and have not seen since (has 4
of these in an enclosure) and 9 values per bin works ok for me.

Cheers,
Raph

I don't know if you are being serious or not with the question.  I have
stored my parts in poly bags for years without any issues of oxidation.  And
I am sure that most if not all part houses (Mouser,
Digikey,etc.) don't vacuum seal parts.  I would suggest that living in a
climate controlled house and using poly bags is enough to control oxidation
for many many years without worry or issues with DIY builds and repairs.
