I haven't seen the model number yet. You know it off hand?

looks good, and great price. What are you going to do? leave it like it is or refinish it?

 

[JUNK-MAN]

Nice score, I'd love to have one.

There seems to be a bit of rust on it. It's missing two screws on the door hinge. I'm missing a little drawer for it, the key, and I think two drawer clips. I would like to restore it. I have already taken it apart except for the handles, I have washed the main box, going to start on the drawers tomorrow. I'll try a light grind on the rust areas, hopefully the rust isn't too deep. I would like to refinish it and make it look like new again.

Have the same one, rugged little box. I posted pics in the vintage tool box thread a few months ago.

The rails seem to be in good condition. I'll see about getting them cleaned up tomorrow.

Complete and in decent condition they bring pretty amazing money

Looks good. I wonder if you could find the missing drawer on ebay. It doesn't look to be in too bad of shape, i'd love to see a restore thread.

That is a nice size. I've been keeping my eyes out for something like that for my trailer to mount on the wall. I will give you the "YOU ****" since no one else did. Nice find.

You can use the top as an ashtray holder.

That's a really cool little box. Congrats and "You ****!"

Swap the top drawer down to the missing one, then you can put taller stuff in the top until you happen upon a replacement.

I feel loved!

Well I won't make a double post. The Mac tools sidebox restore thread.

More pics coming soon.

Well one drawer seems to be the worst out of the bunch. I did a little cleaning and lots of buffing. That handle sure came out nice.

 

[bubinga]

TLC notwithstanding, you still ****.......LOL
Nice score, Play a lottery # today.

 

[R-Savage]

I still can't find the model number. Where abouts is it?

 

[R-Savage]

I'm feelin the love!

 

[R-Savage]

Oh yeah. My new metric wrench toolbox. 18 mm fits perfect.

 

[R-Savage]

Last pics for the night. The first drawer is almost done prep. And all the handles have been washed. I'll be taking a pick to detail them. Here are the pics. Now to have dinner.

 

[R-Savage]

No pics today. All the handles are picked out and Starting on the second drawer with rust. Just buffing it out.

I've been thinkin about this. I don't really need it. I'll give you posts on the current status of it. I'm thinking I'll post for trade. I'm not a scalper, I don't believe in robbing people. I got it for free. I'm enjoying the work I'm doing to it. It will not be perfect for a restoration. I've never painted before so expect something rough. Lol. However there is something I am looking for and it would be for a equal trade plus postage.
