I don't keep old, duff valves in large numbers, but I do hang on to a couple, for example a low emission SD4 in the hope that one day it is possible to revive it. I don't hold much hope mind, but the couple that I keep don't take up any room. Not just that, but one day I may acquire a set that uses (say) an SD4 and I can fit it if only for the visual aspect in a 'vision' only radio.
