I picked up a Vendorlator VF-192 yesterday on ebay for a hundred bucks!!! The guy I bought if from owned a marina and took the machine in on trade for some boat work. He said when he got it he plugged it in and it worked but didn't get as cool as he wanted it too. I know I am probably going to have to put some freon in the compressor, but my main problem is he wasn't sure where the key was. He was going to look around for it but I don't really want to wait for him to remember and TRY and find it. So my question is, I know it has a ACE II barrel lock in it but where do I look on it to see if there is a number so that I can try to find a key?? On the front of the barrel it says "ACE II RVG 301." Also if it comes down to it, is there a how to on drilling out the lock. I see a couple threads that talk about it but was wondering if anyone has pics showing how to do it. Plan on doing some cleaning and what not to it tonight. Would really like to get into it so I can see what the insides look like and start cleaning the inside. Thanks in advance for the help and I will add pictures tonight when I get home!!!!!

On the front of the barrel it says "ACE II RVG 301." I think you answered your own question. RVG 301 is your key number |

I have a new problem......I started drilling and the drill bit broke inside the barrel lock!!!!   On top of that the drill bit walked on me even though I center punched before I started. I think I am going to have to buy a brand new bit that is small and drill right where the key slot is?  |

I haven't drilled out many ACE locks, when I drill out regular cabinet locks, I start with a 1/8" hole in the middle, then keep stepping up in small increments. Broken bit is going to add to the mess.

Figured I would buy a 1/8th and work it from there......either way I have a feeling there is going to be some more sweat and swearing involved!!! |

I use a 1/2" gold/titanium bit with a 1/2" chuck in my high torque drill & blast the core out , I used to drill out the individual pins ACE style locks with a 1/16" titanium bit , tumblers, spring & all, but you have to go real slow & light on the pressure or you'd snap it off every time.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

So I finally got a chance to drill on the lock some more, but I still can't get through the lock!! I am at a loss for what to do now!! Anyone have any other ideas??? Not sure what else to try, have broke two bits inside. The second bit was a brand new cold fire treated bit and I was using oil and going slow. Don't know what else to do??  |

Did you try this? Drill all 8 holes through and hog it out from there. |
