[VAL] Gaucho slide construction

[M Tate <firebirdesprit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good morning all,
First, thanks to all who responded to my question about where I might get old 
style 12 volt lights for my '65 Overlander. I plan on going to Montevallo and 
checking out the place there.
Second, I am sure that this has been discussed before, but I don't remember. On 
my Gaucho, I have a piece of the slides on the bottom of the seat of the couch 
as well as a piece of the slide fastened to the framework with a hinge that 
would be located on the end of the slide facing the front. I see that the slides 
are dovetailed and a slide stop of sorts is intact, but the slides are separated. 
How are the slides held together? Is there a "key" of wood that fits into the 
dovetails? Do they overlap, this does not seem likely. I have seen where you can 
buy new slides, don't remember where, but I am able to reconstruct the woodwork 
if needed, necessity being the mother of all invention. Might even give me an 
reason to buy more tools ( oh no!!!). You just gotta love working on these 
lovely beasts. Oh yeah, the PO had "fixed" the problem of broken slides by 
attaching screw-on legs, a working solution but you cannot access the bottom 
cabinets with the legs attached. 
Thanks again in advance to all of you.
