i can't believe i am even considering this, but here you go.
i am looking at some snapon cabinets. sometimes, they have letters after the model number. i think today they are paint codes and such, but 30 years ago, i think that they referred to "generations" of the cabinets. one i see often is kr537D. dont think i have ever seen an a, b, c, or e.
is there a resource anywhere with a listing of cabinets and the time frames the various letter suffixes were made? i went over to collectingsnapon.com, as an example, and found that top cabinet in a 1983 catalog, so i suspect it is likely in that ballpark of age, rather than "about 20 years old" which would put it in the late 1990's. the catalogue pages were helpful, giving demensions and capacities of the drawers and cabinets, but 1983 seems to be the most recent general catalogue they have scanned in.
i looked at the forums over there, and they seem pretty sparse, and i think their focus is more in 1970's and before tools.
thanx for any help.
