In the wake of a recent project, I have a considerable number of empty chip tubes. Some had chips in them and were marked “anti-static”. Others had chip sockets in them and were not marked “anti-static”. Should I just ditch the ones not marked? Is there really a difference?

Yes there is a difference, and I always need both types. How many do you have and what would you trade for them?

Geez Smash,
I wanna get in on this one! I have quite a few of these things! both .3 and .6 (8 pin through 40 pin). I never throw anything away and have been working with electronix stuff since the early '70’s!
Not quite sure where DAVO is located, but I’m in Texas so shipping is not a problem. It would clear up a bit of space on my workbench and storage areas, so I am thinking just giving them to you is a good option (no trades required).
lemme know (pm with your address, or I can get from your website)

Wow I did not realize you are in TX! Anywhere near Dallas? I still live in Oklahoma but these days I’m in DFW twice a week. The offer is much appreciated, but at least let me trade or pay for the shipping etc.
Wanna come see a show?

Sorry, I’m in Houston. And our car probably would not make it to Dallas. 
I don’t have a problem with shipping to you, sure it’s less than a pound (at least the ones on my workspace, I’m pretty sure I have pounds of ‘em out in the garage tho’)… maybe we can trade for an encoder or two, I’m wanting to experiment with those on a couple of my midiboxes.
Anyway, pm me your address, and I will start digging these things out and send in the next week or so.
