Diebold makes a lot of money handling stuff, for banks, etc.
If they are solid and have good drawer slides, I think I'd be in at 75-100 each.
Be sure the drawers are full extension and that the drawer sides are tall as the front.
Someone else here at GJ has posted about some teller drawers IIRC...

The Diebold cabinets I have seen were built very well..just like IBM card cabinets...these seem to be a combination cabinet with drawers and sliding doors...so they may not be as study.
Let us know how it turns out.
FWIW..cabinets built for banks usually are very well built...meant to hold lots of paper..heavy paper.

For about 15 years, I ran my business via Diebold. The older undercounted units were indeed well built and worth every penny you spend. However, the undercounter units of today are not built as well and the glides are more fragile than the prior units. Keep in mind that these units are double wall constructed (so that no money can fall between the "cracks") and once the units are bolted together and the top surface is attached to the cabinets, they are very strong.
Once sanded, primed, painted, they will outlast you. If you need glide replacements for the drawers, they may be available. Call 1.800.DIEBOLD and ask for telephone sales. You will find this group to be most helpful.

My dad used to work for LeFebure, the competitor for Diebold (pronounced dee uh BOLD). They both build pretty much everything which makes a bank 'a bank,' from vault doors and safe deposit boxes, to money handling systems, to pneumatic tube systems for the drive throughs.
Those cabinets would likely have been used at a teller station...a place for the teller to lock up the cash and valuables he or she is responsible for, while actually working at the teller station.
If I remember well from the few days I got to go to work with my dad, those are good units, built for a lifetime of service. Banks don't usually 'cheap out' when they purchase stuff (and there is nearly a 100% markup on things for installing them). As long as the configuration of those cabinets meets your needs, they should easily live up to your expectations.

Like said diebold makes things for banks. I work at a bank and we have cabinets that are 30 years old and they are falling apart. From my experience banks only get rid of them if they are to beat up and replacement parts can not be found. Also those cabinets are not for storing cash they were more likely to be used for holding files.
Likely solid cabinets worth $150 for the pair. Go check them out in person and bring cash . . . . . . .
but have your target limit in one pocket (thus your $120).
Extra cash above your $120 target would "have to be found" rummaging around another pocket in small bills like $5's.

Kev,
Actual pronunciation of Diebold is the same as one would pronounce diesel. Some pronounce as Die-Bold after the Die-Hard battery, also not the correct way to pronounce the name. So, the correct pronunciation is Dee-Bold. Alas, my clients could call the company anything they wanted as long as they signed the equipment contracts..........

You are correct on these cabs are not for money storage. There are no locks on the small drawers for cash trays, however, a drawer with a lock could be substituted and used as a cash drawer during business hours, hence, the universal build of double wall construction.
Worked with many a facility manager at the banks and credit unions that were, how shall I say, "frugal" when it came to upgrades or new equipment. Have to applaud these same people because they always had their eye on the bottom line.
