Hey guys I currently have a MB1800 bottom chest and I think the time has come that I wanted to explore the idea of getting a side cabinet to store more stuff. The problem is that apparently the Mac Mb1800 is an oddball chest being that it is only 20" deep. I have searched high and low to better identify my chest and all I have been able to find is that the corresponding top box is an mb1810.

Ideally I would also get a top box but my eye is searching for that. What I want to know is what should be the model number for the side cabinet that would match my box?

So far this is the closest I have come to finding that bit of information but it is wrong. According to this craigslist ad the guy says it is a MB1870. However, that does show that that cabinet does in fact exist. It says that the dimensions are 18" wide x 58" high x 18' deep. I don't know if maybe someone here knows something about old mac boxes and can help me out. Ideally if I know the model number I can keep an eye out on ebay and craigslist for that particular side chest. I don't need it now just yet but if I found it for a decent price I would jump on both a top chest and the side chest since they are so hard to find.

Here is the craigslist ad I mentioned with photos.

Just in case the ad goes down I wanted to re host the photos.

Thanks for any potential help guys.

I can't decide if that is the correct locker or not. Part of me thinks it should have the angled sides to match main boxes. Other part doesn't. That box is from a transition time when Mac made many styles of boxes so that locker maybe. A little universal to fit several boxes.

I have a 2004 catalog and it does not show the MB1800 or the 1810, but does have an 1850 (25 1/4" deep) and 1900/1901/1902 (27"deep). It shows the full length side locker as either the MB1870, 25 1/4" deep, 62 7/16" tall 26 1/4" wide with 5 drawers and angled fronts or MB1970, 27" deep, 65 3/16" tall 26 1/4" wide with the matching angled fronts and 6 drawers.

They also list an MB1070, 25 1/4" deep 19 1/4" wide with the flat front for the TECH1000 series and the MB4270, 18" deep 15" wide flat front for the MB42xx series.

The CL sides in FL might be the MB4270s based on sizes.

I can scan and post if it would be useful. Hope this helps.

I am still looking around and digging up info. It looks like my best chance is going to be buying the side cabinet from harbor-freight. It mounts on the lip and it looks like it would bolt to the side where the handle would go. I guess that will have to be good enough. The HF Cabinet measures 18 deep and my chest measures 18 deep before the front sheetmetal has an angled corner. I am confident it will fit and work. So I guess for anyone else looking into the same topic, that is probably the best idea.
