[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16259427, member: 181885"] THIS. It needs to be soda-blasted and recoated/baked with Kenosha Red for a true restoration. Or, keep it as it is and enjoy the "history in patina." It will likely cost $200-$300 to properly soda-blast it, and figure another $300-$400 to paint and bake it with the appropriate paint. The vintage stuff isn't worth as much as I think it ought to be. Lots of them are on Craiglist in the $350-$800 range depending on condition where the newer KRA/KRLs are several thousand dollars. The older boxes and benches are sliders, not ball bearing. It can be very time consuming straightening them all out. I used a dry film lubricant on all of the sliders on my vintage boxes. The catalog scans on this page are excellent for IDing Snap On stuff: [URL]https://www.collectingsnapon.com/index.php?page=pages/FAQ[/URL] GAH if I saw someone trying to sell those for $25, my conscience would get the best of me, and I'd tear the for-sale sign off for them. If I had to guess, in current condition likely $250-$350 tops. If fully restored, maybe $800-$1000 depending on quality. Honestly, the sentimental value is likely worth restoring and keeping, don't sell those things! [/QUOTE]
