Weather head organizer

Weather head organizer... Updated

As I was putting together my cheap harbor freight organizer bins I got pretty frustrated with how terrible the quality was. Yes, I know harbor freight isn't a place to go for quality. So I looked again at the organizer a lot of people are going with from northern tool and I searched Craigslist again. Well I found this on Craigslist... Let me know what you guys think.

I want to go take a look at it tomorrow after work

That's pretty nice. I'd go look for sure, I've been wanting something like that. If those upper bins are well sized for a parts organizer I'd be all over that. I drool over the yellow drawer set-up a member here made, I bet someone will link to it here. I say show up in the morning before he starts getting a ton of calls about it, hem and haw and offer him $100. One thing I learned about negotiating for things without a real well defined value like a car or a compressor, it's good for the buyer to actually pull out the cash when making an offer. It's easier to say no to the words than when actually having cash visible.

I had this one that didn't fit my garage and sold it at a yard sale for 60.00

I had forgotten about Weatherhead fittings, when I read Weatherhead I assumed the electrical kind at your service entrance.

Congratulations on the Craig's List score.

Wheatherhead fittings are usually brass fittings meant for air, water, oil, and hydraulic purposes. My NAPA store stocked them. High quality, not cheap, and not usually in the consumer side.

That box there is a jobber box display for a shop to keep on site with a sales rep coming by to restock it as needed. They are nice and excellent for their purpose. That said, the cabinets are rather large, shallow, with tiny drawers that aren't good for much outside their original purpose. They don't make a good use of valuable wall space if you are cramped.

Update... I emailed the guy and never got a response. The post was on its 7th day so I'm hoping he either emails me back or reposts it. The kicker is its like 5 mins from work but I can't bring up the map from the ad anymore. I'll update again if I do get to take a look at it. Thanks guys

UPDATE:
The seller ended up contacting me and I bought the organizer for $170 cash tonight. I really like it and can't wait to fill it. It has 192 small organizer drawers ( 3"x5-1/2". 6" including the pull tab) and 18 large drawers ( 12"x15")

I modified it to fit my space. I unbolted the bottom stand and attached it to the sides as you can see in the first pic. (The little "side wings" at the bottom). It ended up being 41-1/4" wide and 66-1/2" tall.

I'm missing 3 small drawers and would like to replace another 2. So does anyone know where I can find these drawers?

I have 212 Weatherhead cardboard slot dividers that I'd like to get rid of. I don't wanna just throw them away. They are 2-3/4"x2".

With further ado, here's some pics.

Hi there.
I realize it was 10 years ago, but just by any chance if any cardboard Weatherhead dividers are available, I am in need.
Thank you very much
Chris
