Homak Tool Box Not as good as Rusty Old Tool box

[indiomonk]

Well, this is not as good a story as the Rusty Old tool box one. But I think I got a hernia lifting this Homak box up today. This thing is built way heavier than my Old vintage craftsman or Kennedy rollers and the top seem almost as heavy as the roller. It looks like I am going to get a lesson in either straightening up the friction slides or replacing them. Some of the doors stick and the bottom drawer pulls out but the slides seem stuck on the rails.

I was not sure about the black and gold but hey... I might be the only one in North Texas that has this setup. Wish me luck fellas I have too many projects on my plate but I am going to keep on plugging away.
I did the beer cheers because due to Covid I gave up drinking and I have a full garage fridge full of beer. These truly are strange times. Don't hate me for the Husky tools a nice lady name Heloise at Home Depot basically gave them to me for an inventory issue. I can't seem to give them away for some odd reason.

I used a homak box for a time in the 90s. Served me well and was a heavy box.

Are the slides bent or just full of dried factory grease?

Heavy. Is a good description. I plan to put her to use soon.

Dried grease it seems. The bottom drawer opens but the slides seem stuck. I am going to take all the drawers out this weekend and investigate. Needs a good cleaning. Very little surface rust and in overall good complete condition.
