I bought this KR 555 last summer for $200. Guy was getting out of the trade and looking to move off of it. I jumped on it right away because these deals don't last long. I took the drawers out, gave it a good cleaning, some fresh touchup paint, replaced the castors and a couple of drawer slides. The slides I re-used got degreased and an Evaporust bath before being put back in service. I lightly wet sanded the drawer fronts with 2000 grit and gave them a wax coat when finished. There was some nasty rust on the side that I sanded, sprayed over, then blended. I had a little left of a spray can of the exact same color of Snap on paint. I think it came out pretty good.
I already had the paint so outside of the castors and drawer slides, had everything I needed. In all, it took about two weeks to do this, averaging about an hour daily.
