We unfortunately don't have a replacement drawer slide that matches this design. I think it's just a little too old for us to supply.
Would you be able to just replace the wheel, or does the whole slide have to go? If you can get away with just replacing the wheel, let me know its diameter and thickness and I can check our inventory for a comparable size.
Thank you. I would say our best option here is going to be the 32-039. This is 1" in diameter but only 1/4" thick. That's fairly skinny compared to your original roller, unfortunately, but we don't have anything in 1" that is as thick as you need it to be.
As for installation, that's going to be tricky. You'll have to see if the inner diameter of the 32-039 wheel will snap over the existing rivet. It's not a guarantee but I think it's going to be your best bet.
We do have more modern self-closing track kits that may work for you, such as our 32-061. However the design is still very different and it doesn't quite mount the same way. You would additionally need a new 32-089 back socket to plug into at the back wall of the cabinet, where yours currently mounts directly at that 90 degree bend.
Note that the 32-061 is also 21-5/8", which is a bit longer than your current size. A better option might be our 2-060. This is only 19-5/8", but you can make up those missing inches with the length of the 32-089 back plate. Otherwise you could just trim the 32-061 lengths to size with a hacksaw.
It's not ideal, and I can't guarantee that they'll work, but they may at least be worth considering at this stage.
