That's the ugliest drawer slide I have ever seen. Try Rockler.com or your
big box stores.



I have tried all the usual suspects as mentioned, just hoped posting here
someone might have knowledge of these "old" slides.


Well, I guess "ugly" is in the eye of... They certainly aren't
particularly attractive; of course, they only show when drawers are
open. Look like about same roll quality of a typical home store nylon
roller.

I have no idea on them identially; I've never seen them before, either.

But, try

woodworkershardware.com

and see what you can find in a front mount option--if it's made and
readily available, they're about the best chance I know of who will have it.

If, as you say, the cabinets are worth replacing the slides in, I'd
suggest adding rails (from what is viewable in the picture) wouldn't be
above the skill set of an moderately handy person could do. Looks like
a project that could be tackled and completed on a fairly leisurely
schedule at little more than cost of the new slides (whatever were
chosen). This, of course, assumes have at least the rudimentary
woodworking tools and some facility in using them or at least an
interest in other than the "let someone else handle it" solution.

Actually they are NOT ugly. These are built on-site cabients of wood not
splinterboard and instead of a center runner as was the mode "back in da
day" these face mounted brackets went on faster and cheaper and lasted about
30 years.
