I'll be in Jacksonville this weekend for a wedding and thought about picking this up. It's got a great look to it and I'm on a binge of putting older shop tools in my shop.

Are the parts for this still available such as slides and locks?

What do you guys think?

No. Way to much work and appears to have lived a rough life. Way to much money in that condition.

Early to mid 90's, 40" combo. Only the wide drawer has ball bearing slides. It was made by beach. The bottom box is an odd one because they look to be made out of three pieces and welded together. The chrome strip hides the seam on the front. I don't know what support there is for them anymore. For $400 for the combo, I'd at least see it in person. If it is in good shape and you like it, you can find out what is bottom dollar is from.

What he said...
I has that bottom box. Was a decent box for home but was always a little disappointed in it.
Used it for a bunch of years and then sold it for around $400 with some assorted junk tools in it. Mine was near mint with hardly a scratch

That one looks a bit rough

Economizer 4000, I thought they were made by waterloo, but Hard to tell from those pics. You could do worse, probably alot worst, then again I think you could also do better.

If you just want a tool box I'd check this out.

For style points/cool factor maybe this one. But hard to tell condition from those pics, looks pretty rough.
