Those slater boxes are really prone to cracking. I've replaced about 7 of them in my house with Smartboxes.
By the way. I've gotten very good at getting old boxes out of the wall without damaging the drywall. The trick is to get the nails off the box (after pulling them out of the stud) before you pull the wires out and remove it from the wall. The nails can be removed from the box by pushing on them with a long screwdriver. Let them fall into the wall..who cares..they can keep the empty beer cans company.
