I use a folded paper towel which is much easier find and quicker than searching for them and putting gloves on and off.
Mostly because the tubes are too hot to the touch.
Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?
I wear cloth gloves to change or to test tubes. Does anyone else do this? I see lots of bare fingers handling tubes on ebay. If I ever do touch them with bare skin, I am very quick to wipe with dry cloth after. Just wondering what the rest of the world does. Thanks
