I can put the key in and it turns to about 1 degree away from where the button should pop out but it stops. I sprayed some PB blaster, and other than making it turn really easily in the zone it could already move in, it didn't help that last little bit to make it open.
I tried slightly pressing on the lid right at the lock but it doesn't help. It's been sitting for 30 years and hasn't been opened in that amount of time. I've owned it since '84 so I know its history. Is there some way to use an o-ring pick or such to get at the mechanism to free it? |

QUOTE(TheCabinetmaker @ Jan 30 2023, 05:51 PM) Don't drill through the body! It won't get you anywhere. Ignore that advice. Drill thru the slot for the key. The object is too drill out the screw that holds the actuator tang to the cylinder. The screw in the last pic is what holds the button in the sleeve Ok, I'll go this route tomorrow. Thanks! |
