Tube Amp/Integrated Storage


Just wanting to discuss this here in a narrow, subject specific way rather than straying into “side topics”….I’m not finding a whole lot in the web on the subject of storing a tube amp/integrated for, discussion purposes, 5 years or longer.  There’s a blip on some of the guitar forums but not much else.

 

Basically, can one store a tube integrated in a well cushioned box with several packets of silica gel inside a typical, reasonably climate controlled environment and expect that it will be plug-and-play ready in 5-10 years?  Should it be stored with the tubes removed or left installed?

Thanks in advance.

Should be fine. Look at bringing the unit up slowly on a variac when the time comes.
