I Have Been Waiting For This Day

I picked up these Oak beauties today. They are my first coin ops of 2014 and the first I have bought since October.
Seller couldn't find the keys so I bought them anyways figuring I could just drill the locks. Before I broke out the drill, I decided to pull out the keys from my other machines and try them which usually fails epically; until today!
I was able to open the penny/nickel Oak with a key from my quarter Northwestern Mouthy Marvin and the yellow penny Oak with a key from my nickel Toy n Joy machine. In my opinion, a very cool way to end a dry spell and kickoff the new year.

^^ Great score!
I have three Oak machines and a couple of Fords. Period restorations are simple and inexpensive. They're lot's of fun.

Good point ray.
Although, since the seller didn't have the key, the ones that were still in there got real funky. Need to Purell them before I eat anything that comes out of them
