It depends on the tube as to if it is going to be damaged by dropping on the
floor. Some tubes are very fragile while others can handle a whole lot of
mishandling.

REPLY:
Both tubes and transistors each have their own protection
requirements.
Treating a transistor like a tube or vice versa is asking for trouble.
For one, tubes are far more fragile. Drop a transistor on the floor,
no problem. Drop a tube and it's goodbye.
There are lots of differences but you get the idea.
