I bought five Vidmar 30in W x 60in H 11-drawer tool/parts cabinets when
the machine and tool shop content at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard was
auctioned off. These things date to the Nixon Administration, and have
a serious layer of grungy old sticky-label adhesive on them, but the
heaviest/dirtiest content they'd ever had in them were 10-packs of
resistors so, once you get the gloves and the acetone and scrub off the
glue they're in very nice condition aside from the 1972 grease in the
drawer-slide bearings.
They cost a few bucks but nothing like new or even used-dealer prices.
