Snap-on KR-272 worth ?

[NUTTSGT]

Curious to what you guys think this Snap-on KR-272 is worth. Don't hate me for it's condition, it was like this when I got it.

I do have some shelf liners for it and 1 key to the working lock.

Yes, without a doubt someone had a car stereo and 6x9 speakers in it.

Wow.

 

[Zewnten]

$50 maybe if someone needed the door?

 

[Boogerman]

I have 2; paid $15 for the one that needed repainting, $50 for the one that was clean. Use them to hold spray cans.

That is a good thought. Maybe I will keep chemicals in it over in the addition. I probably have a piece of sheet metal or aluminum diamond plate I can rivet over all those holes.

The badge and lock with key are probably saleable. The cabinet's utility value (after covering the holes) exceeds whatever somebody might pay for it.

Good place to hold spare sockets. One shelf for each drive size.

I'd keep that cabinet bolt it into a corner with the holes up against the wall. Or cover with sheetmetal or even a piece of plywood or Masonite. I bet you could get $50 or more for the badge alone if nobody was interested in the box. Lock and key will sell too as already stated.

I'd guess it was belting out good Hymn Book favorites based on the stickers on the door. I'd hate to work somewhere people were blasting out hymns.

Possibly.

Maybe some Motley Crue?

Like I said, it was like this when I got it.

I'm assuming the squares on table top are about 6" so depth of cabinet is 9-10"? The cut out at top looks off to me for a 2-post car radio. Center cutout looks way too big.

I found this vintage Alpone with equalizer but the location for posts would be near bottom.



Then started thinking 8-track or possibly a two-way radio. Found this old Pioneer am/fm with cb radio looks like it might fit the cutout.



Ah the 1970s....

There is a thread on GJ about using old cabinets like this for storage. I think the original post was an electrical box that was made into a wall cabinet. I’ll look later and see if I can find it.

Holes are right sized for about a first generation cassette player car stereo.

The big holes below I didn't realize at first glance what they were until I looked closer and saw the little holes to mount the speakers.

I was using it for grinder storage and grind wheels. Once I built the welding table, they all went there.

The grinder wheels and flap discs are in the 27" HF box in the addition.

I made the decision, it's staying but it's going to closely match the other boxes.
