Last night, a heroic friend agreed at the last minute to help me travel about 30 minutes away and pick up a Vidmar cabinet deal from CL. I saw the ad a few days ago, and thought it would be gone right away. I asked the seller one question via e-mail, got a reply on Thursday. Told her on Thursday night that I wanted the cabinet but assumed it would be gone before I got to it, as I couldn't get out there before the weekend. She told me it was mine if I wanted it.
Her son apparently brought it home from his AFB when they got new ones in. As one of the pics will show, one of the drawers was foamed for what look to be goggles and bayonets or something.
About 5' tall I think, and maybe 29" wide x 27" deep, approximately.
$200.
We had to take the drawers out, wheel it out of a sunroom, through the living room, dining room, and kitchen, down a couple stairs, across a sidewalk, and into the driveway. Then we tipped the top onto the tailgate of my truck and lifted it from the bottom to slide it in.
My Escalera forklift cart helps me with yet another unloading
Here you can see it in front of my two primary toolbox setups. As you can see, my tool storage ability has increased drastically thanks to this Vidmar.
I need to rearrange stuff...the C-man bottom in front of the Vidmar will probably go under a bench and be used as a mobile workstation. The top-box on it will probably go onto a bench or in the basement or something.
I was going to go nuts with a wash, clay-bar, and polish to get it looking spiffy, then realized that would blow my whole weekend. So instead, I washed it with hot water and soap, sort of cleaned and lubed the slides, and put it back together. Then I spent some time taking tools out of the C-man boxes and putting them in here. I am not good at organizing, but I am making some progress.
