Title: 1963 Vendo V-63 Later Edition but no key! Post by: Poptop on July 28, 2014, 05:13:32 pm Hey guys... I have drilled locks before but not like this. What do I drill, and what do I "save?" And.. then what do I order!
1963 Vendo V-63 Later edition.. original. I have no clue on this type of lock. As a side note... where should I look for the "part?" Pictures for your pleasure!

Try that link. I think it will fit. I have the same exact machine. It's early seventies. Around 1972-73. Good luck! Title: Re: 1963 Vendo V-63 Later Edition but no key! Post by: MoonDawg on September 11, 2014, 10:23:03 am Interesting information on that link:
To drill this lock out of the machine without damaging the bezel follow these instructions: Drill into the very center of the lock starting with a 3/16" drill bit. Drill in about 1/2" deep. Switch the drill bit to the next size up and drill again in the center of the hole you just drilled. This time only drill in 1/4". You will understand later why the depth changes. Repeat until you just past the outer ring of where the key entered. At this time the pins and springs should fall out of the lock. If they don't fall out, pull them out with narrow needle nose pliers. Once this happens you can put a small screw driver or stud extractor into the 1st hole that was drilled deeper. Now you know why there are two depths. Turn it one way or the other and it will open up. Now, open door and remove the rest of the lock. Order the new lock from The Soda Jerk Works so you have it ready to go. Title: Re: 1963 Vendo V-63 Later Edition but no key! Post by: Poptop on September 11, 2014, 11:50:10 am Thank you guys! I have tried two locks that "should/could/may" fit.. but not... so I will order this one!!

End result, looks great, fit well and it works! Thanks for the advise and direction. Title: Re: 1963 Vendo V-63 Later Edition but no key! Post by: RustyGold on September 16, 2014, 10:43:15 pm Mine is flush with the bezel too. Glad it worked out.
