After posting I checked a catalog from Akro-Mils that I requested and received
last year from the company, it's a glossy four-color affair dated 12/99
in the code at the back, and on the two pages devoted to the storage centers we
are talking about they list only seven types and the 18-drawer model is not
among those types. Interestingly, there is a photograph of a 9-drawer model
using the drawers from the central column of the 23-drawer unit which is not
included among the seven types, either. There are two styles based on the size
of the smallest drawer. Ignoring the styles with the smaller smallest drawer,
they only identified the 11-, 15-, 23-, and 36-drawer storage centers. So we
may be out of luck. The availability of the listed centers was as cartons of 4
each. The catalog at the hardware store was one of those three-ring binder
types with multiple columns and line drawings, so it might have been out of
date.
