I have Mac toolbox and I need some parts. I am having trouble with finding a model number or year it was made. I also have a hard time trying to find archives. MAC TOOLS say they have no distributors in my state(Mn) and they would have a regional manager call me. No one called so a week later I called and requested a regional manager to call again. No calls or help yet from them on even a model number. Here are some pictures. Can someone help me please

The number should be stamped on teh back, but I know Matco went to stick on plates in the late 1980s, and Mac may have done the same.

I would advise looking for the stamp around the corners of the sides and back. Wipe it down with some WD40 then get a powerful flashlight and shine it from all angles. When I was looking for the stamp on my Span-On, I seriously had the flashlight pointed at the exact right spot for almost a minute before I could see it, you just have to find the exact right angle.

Duke,
It's a MB516 from early 80's. 19"H, 26"W, 13"D.
They were nice top boxes, Matching bottom box was the MB506, also with 6 full width draws.

I have what looks to be the same box, I'll pull it down to see if I can find any model # on it.
