 |
|
Hello,
I'm restoring an old Kennedy 7 Drawer Machinist Chest
(similar to ebay item 230043992643)
My question is, are the drawers removable?
This unit is from the WWII era. Nothing is immediately jumping out at me,
but perhaps if I push a paperclip into the slide or something. I've been
fiddling around but don't want to get frustrated and try to "make it
work" and destroy it.
I'm assuming the design changed over the years so if it helps ID it
Kennedy is written in cursive inside the top.
I can post pictures of it if this might help.
Thanks,
Marc |

not correct.
On every Kennedy I have ever seen the drawers are removable.
On the outside edges of the slides there should be what looks
like a rectangular wire loop. Take a thin bladed screwdriver and
pry out at the front. This should pull the tang out far enough to
clear the slide. Push the slide back an inch or so are repeat on
the other side.
Kennedy sells touchup paint and accessories/replacement parts for
their boxes.
