How about some additional information...?

Manufacturer, Model or even post a photo for us to see!

Chances are the image is too big!
How about reducing a copy of the image and then when you reply just navigate on your computer to the location of the reduced copy and send this image... You probably have your digital camera set on a higher resolution so you can print with the picture; for web stuff, low resolution is fine and the camera can be set to 640 X 480...
Is there an ID Tag on the side of the machine with manufacturer and model information...?

Hello, not sure what format your picture is in?  You might try opening it with Microsoft Photo Editor.  Once open, try using the Save As option, one at a time repeat save as tif, gif, and jpeg, giving each a slightly different name.  Check the file sizes, try uploading the smallest version of the picture.  Hope this helps.

On that note, be sure to save as a gif or jpg; don't utilize tiff as this format isn't recognized...

Thanks, got to look at the machine again, I was told it is a late 60's model and it has been sitting in an old building since then. The key is long lost, the last time it was plugged in was late 1986.

I was also told it is nearly full of cans. The last person to fill it was transfered and took the keys with her after leaving the job.

The key lock has CAV-5 etched in it. Now all the owner needs is a key.  Any one have a spare out there?

For those of you who need visual aid...Tada! But as for the lock just take that number to your local locksmith & see if he can cut an ACE key to order, or I find it cheaper to just drill the darn things out & replace it with a new cylinder, just drill with a 1/2 inch drill bit right in the center of the "bulls-eye" & slow speed drill to a depth of about 1/2 inch deep, then take a smaller 1/16 inch drill & remove the remaining tumblers & springs from there holes use a small drift pin to turn the core & your in... takes about less than three minutes, then go to ebay & order a replacement lock with two keys & your in business...Hope it helps.....
