Just today I saw a new small parts storage cabinet at Wal-Mart. It's one of those 39 clear-drawer ones (9 lower big drawers, 30 small upper drawers). It's a dark green, but is the same size as the light gray or black ones that you commonly see. The (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)
