I have seen the ic's in tubes once. They come 20 or so in a tube that gets fed into a machine almost like a stapler is set up. They then get fed onto boards and soldered in place. At least thats how it was explained to me. The guy that had them offered to sell them to me at $2 #. He had something like 150# of them. This is when I just started scrapping and I turned him downIf I only knew then what I know now....lol
