Just bought this from Ebay.
I believe its a KR637?
It needs two new draw runners for the bottom craw would these be covered under Snap on Warranty?

Just moved it its heavy!
The bottom runners are branded Accuride and have basically fell to bits, some bits are missing. How could I find an accuride part number?
One of the top draws has the traditional non ball bearing runners and the spring clips that stop the draw coming all the way out have broken.
The lock is stiff any one know of a cheaper alternative to buying one from Snap on?
Apart from that and considering its at least 30 years old it looking good

Accuride has a pretty good website for identifying slides. You measure the length of the slides with them fully closed and you look under the list of "bayonet" type mounting slides. Most of their slides will have screw holes for mounting to wooden cabinets, but yours won't be like that; they'll have bayonets.

I have contacted Snap on they tell me its up to my local dealer?
WE have no dealer at work so I normally contact one near to home, but as I no longer buy any Snap On new I can't see him swapping them for me, I will try and contact him this week.

Nice box and always a good buy when used.
Should be easy enough match a lock if pull current one and look online or at local locksmiths, I never had much trouble swapping box locks. slides different story, can't see dealer helping for warranty of them if you not spending with him but worth seeing cost if he'll order spares., just going have go through US accuride or cross match it best can to other slides likely fit with minimal mods if proper replacements too expensive. surprised seller didn't try sort slide before sale .
