Title: Bought machine on ebay, i need alittle help Post by: on March 28, 2005, 12:03:53 pm Hey. I am totally new to this. I thought it would be nice to have a coke machine in my gameroom. I found a good price on one off of ebay. It looks 80`s to me. Ill attach a picture. Also it is missing the key. Can I drill it? By drilling it you mean with any drill bit just shove it in the center of the lock and hope for the best? I know there are some locks on ebay I could probably replace it with. Please bear with me I am very new to this. The key opens the coin mechanism right? Does it also allow me to open the door and refil the machine? If not how do i do that? Also how can i set the machine to free? I have searched all day online and cant find anything this basic enough to answer my questions. Thanks alot for your help. Believe me it is greatly appreciated.

Also is that the only way to set the machine to free? With another button? Can i just set it somehow to completely free without the secret button? If not can I set it to like a penny or something? Thanks alot.
