I have a chance to buy some perfect condition 1960's operating room stainless cabinets(I saw them in the O.R. myself).The high ones for the most part all have glass doors the bottoms are solid doors,as I remember there are Evan some tall cabinets.I am sure there are enough to do a super cool kitchen ans more.I have no idea what there worth,but I do think they are pretty valuable.Thanks for any help

This guy prices his at around $2K apiece on Ebay and Craigslist, but I don't know whether he sells any.

Me too!
I'd LOVE to have one of these in my kitchen (me, and what army-- hence the dear prices).

I find
prices for these all over the board. In or near a city they can be anywhere from
50 to 1500. They weigh a ton. Not many people have room for them. In NYC
i would guess a dozen hospitals have gone out of business in the last 10 yrs.
I see them up for auction often. I got mine for free. If you can carry it, you can
have it. I was in a loft at the time.
I almost passed them up but found a spot. When i moved i hung onto
one for my studio. Obviously new they must be pricey.
Built like tanks.
I would guess most dealers selling them didn't pay much, but have some crazy
overhead costs transporting and storing.
I just moved mine again and needed piano dollies to move it just two feet.
