Hello,
First contact, new member Semi retired aggie. Vegetable seed industry out here in Gruesome Newsom country, California.
I am restoring two Mactools MB1500's of which I have stacked. As yet I have not been able to source a parts manual for the MB1500s. Thinking it may not exist. I have removed fixed cleaned and degreased all of the slides from the two . All are adequate for repatriation into the boxes save two. The only thing stamped into the slides that I can find is Accuride J2 and Accuride 2J (left and right side slides). Looking for hens teeth does not adequately describe my unsuccessful search for replacements.
The MB4251 is a newer version Mactools box with dimensions similar to the MB1500s. Thinking perhaps the slides from it would work on my boxes. MB4251 is a newer box so perhaps it's slides might be easier to find. Well, I can't find a parts manual for it either.
Apart from sourcing a parts box which in my view would be a pitiful waist of box and money I was hoping someone here could lead me in the right direction.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Welcome to the asylum from Ventura Co. Can't help with the Mac boxes, but I'm sure someone here can.

Been more than a few years since I used to replace the Teller's Cash Drawer slides with Accuride Slides. My boss was upset because they were more expensive than what they had been using. After they learned that the Accuride Slides lasted for years rather than the few months they had been getting out of the cheap slides, he quit complaining,
