Completed the set

[Technologyteacher]

I had the bottom box already. This weekend I purchased the middle and top box from a member on here. The top box had 4 repaints, one red repaint, one orange, one black, and one grey. Plans are to strip the top box and repaint it to match the other two.

Sweet! There is a feeling of excitement when you complete a set or reunite separated components to make a whole...its friggin' cool!

 

[Kent_B]

Nice!
I'm excited to see all 3 the same color.

I've stripped a lot of the paint from the exterior of the box. Still have some around the inside corners and on drawer fronts.

We have a snow day today so I am getting the box ready for final sanding and primer today.

It won't be done till you paint the other two because that one is still going to look out of place.

50's top with 60's bottom and 70's middle. Nice job on the repaint.

Nice job!

50's top with 60's bottom and 70's middle. Nice job on the repaint.

What points you to the 60's on the bottom? The name plate looks the same on the middle and bottom box, and the codes on the back of the middle and bottom end in 74 & 76. Does that correspond to the dates of the box? I couldn't find a model code on the back of the top box.

The bottom is a between box, meaning it has the more modern badge of the 70s, but is built in 60's fashion. The drawer pulls (rounded vs the square of the 70's build style) are the giveaway.

Nice job Teach! Isn't restoring old boxes rewarding? I am about finished with one of my Craftsman sets, and I can't wait.
