I have a vague memory of having read
about this somewhere years ago - maybe
something about using a lubricating oil
appropriate for metal? I don't remember
anything about actually replacing
the rollers. But given the cost of 5-drawer
cases - list cost is now $2,300 -
even given the cost of labor, it
might be cheaper than ordering a new unit.
