Title: RED tent Key
Post by: zds76 on September 02, 2014, 04:21:40 pm
Is there like the back door key on some the of other Nintendo cabs? I bought a red tent and after it was delivered noticed there was no keys to it. Dont need the coin door keys as there were none but the keys to open the top part I think there are 4 locks. And idea? I dont really want to drill it out if there is a common key? Anyone thoughts?

From what I understand it is common but could be wrong. I need to do this myself. At the bottom of this page you'll see a Nintendo key which I thought goes to the red tent. You may want to ask about it. http://www.therealbobroberts.net/parts.html#hardware

I just bought a set of tubular lock picks in order to open up machines with tubular style locks.

Worked perfect on the first lock I tried.

$30 for a set of 3 lock picks (different sizes) and then I just replaced the locks with a regular lock set that I have all my machines set to.

It's an option anyway.
