By fibre, do you mean fibreglas, carbon fibre like my ski poles, or what?
you might want to post to the comp.dcom.telecom NG Lots of old Bell people hang out there
Best darn tool cases ever produced. I wouldn't know how to refinish it but it's something that can be handed down through the generations so I'd never get rid of it. I wish I had one. :-)

So buy one - the company is still around.

The manufacturer wants too much info? That sounds like you tried to fill out an online form. Have you called them on the phone?

I don't think they're made the same way with the same materials any longer. I did bookmark the site and start scheming about how to get one. ^_^

I just sent them an email with the pictures of the tool box,they did answer my first email,that was nice of them. I repaired many a phone line with this little box.
If you want tech support, you pick up the phone and ask for tech support. It's by far the easiest and fastest way. Anything else is just dicking around.
RLooks like the same sort of stuff that I had with a Crown Graphic press camera. I remember taking a rag and some ammonia cleaner to it, nothing more, just to get the grease/dirt off of it.
Here is what I'm talking about,new ones are molded.The company told me to use clear or black laquer.
