Got an extra drawer out of one of these? I have one of the early 70s ones. Looking for either another 2" or 4" drawer.

No, but I'll be on the lookout for them. I have a spare carcass box for parts, but it's the original style with shorter and more narrow drawers.

Does anybody have the chrome strip that was on the handles? I have a KR300 Rolla Bench that is missing one. Thank you, Bob

I'm working on fabricating a bunch of these from 0.025" 5052 aluminum. They will be waterjet cut, and then rolled using 5/8" rod stock as a form. I decided to go with aluminum instead of stainless steel because I'd like it to take the curvature as easily as possible. Of course, polished aluminum won't look exactly the same as (old) chromed steel, so mixing these in with an existing set may look strange.

I'm currently waiting for the cut pieces to come back from the shop, so I can't yet say how well they'll turn out after forming and polish. I'll start a new thread on this forum when I know more.

I always liked the boxes with the roll up fronts, I wish the drawers had roller bearing slides tho.
