[BMWCSRegistry] $2 toolbox (WOB ) -OBMWC

[Bill Proud]

How many of you-ru gurus know what an old Kennedy machinists toolbox looks 
like ? sets of different sized drawers on sliders , but in general the 
drawers are too small  to hold sets of (metric of course ) wrenches for 
working on old Bimmadubblehues (OBMWC) except for things like distributor 
tools and spark plugs .

Anyway , I 'scored' an old beaten up one at the local fleamarket last sun 
for $2 .......obviously been out in someones barn a while as the rust had 
been heavily inlaid in some parts of the metal........but all the drawers 
still had naugahyde liners intact that wiped clean easily ...and original 
knobs . (Can't you see me now on Antiques Roadshow ?? ..heh !!) . After an 
hour's cleanup and oiling ALL the drawers run smooth as silk .........behind 
the rattle-can silver paint job the PO had done on it .It aint purty but it 
all works ........

It looks exactly like the model 520  7 drawer on here

BUT , it is missing the front cover .......that basically blank piece of 
bent metal used to lock all the drawers closed for the night . The front 
cover is about 19" long by 8 1/2 " wide, located at the top by two pins in 
its upper edge when the top section is closed .
So , if any wun has an inkling of where I might find one ..........pls 
advise . Remember my motto "Cheap CAN be good " ......
Anything out in your barn ??
