Title: Nintendo cabinet keys?
Post by: Tarantulas on June 11, 2014, 09:53:45 pm
On classic Nintendo cabinets (like DK, Popeye, etc) are the keys for the back lock the same as the keys for the coin door?

If not, are the coin door keys universal  I would assume not, but heck, this is the noob area, right? Heh.

Again, thanks for the patience, gurus!

Original Back door locks on DK style cabinets and on the red tents use takigen 6510 keys. Bob roberts sells them.

Coin door locks are usually unique to the operator.

I only ask because I found a set of keys inside the cabinet I purchased recently (that the owner drilled the back lock out on), and they can actually be inserted into the coin door lock... they just don't turn.

And Smalltownguy2 on KLOV sells the key and lock as a set.
