vintage MAC box sliders??

[Schwinn90]

I have a older MAC tool box not 100 percent how old but the sliders are pretty messed up and its tough to open the drawers all the way. Does anyone sell new sliders or know a way to fix the issue?

You can still get some vintage replacement slides from MAC. I was able to order some replacement slides for my 1979 mb920 box for $9.09 each.

If this style, the female part can be straightened by driving in a length of barstock (1/8 X 1" ??) and use it as an anvil to tap out the bends. (Grind off the edge of that 1" piece as needed.)

The male (removeable) piece can be straightened carefully in a vise with the help of pliers and another suitable piece of barstock that fits the opening.

That is what works for me.
