Title: Just picked up - Vendo 81-D
Post by: Jonathan816 on November 03, 2014, 10:44:21 pm
just picked this up, the cord isn't beat up, so will plug it in tomorrow and see if it cools (crossing my fingers).

If anyone has a PR501 key they can lend me or make a copy for me at a reasonable cost I'd greatly appreciate it

Key might as well just own your own key for the price!

I'd pay the $11, it's the $8 shipping I'm not happy about.  I'd drill the lock at that point.

Locally I have a hard time finding a locksmith that has the right key or machine to cut one.  I probably could spend more time driving store to store but I have up after 3 stores!

I wouldn't drill out the original key, the original lock is a nice feature to have with the machine!

If ordering online and ordering a small item like that our shopping cart tends to figure the shipping high, This is something that I can't control. It's difficult to figure how the shopping cart figures totals. Any time any of you order online and feel the shipping is too high just call Janet and she can re figure it and I'm sure with a small item like a key she can treat you right on the shipping.

No...Sleepwalk would only offer you $900, because after all, it's missing the key!  :laugh:

Very kind of you Rod. The PR series were done on a Chicago blank that hasn't been made in years.
Lucky to find one at any price.
