In NYC we find these tubes lying around in the street where Con Edison
throws their 6-foot long leftovers. I have a white one in the back yard,
where god knows what-all has taken up residence in the interior. Whoever
would like it is welcome to come pick it up -- a bit grungy now, but I
assume would wash up since it was nice & clean when I acquired it. Of
course that doesn't include the end caps -- I was using tubes for lith
film which develops by red safe light, didn't need to be light tight.
