Title: Vendo V-148 Replacement lock Post by: schilm on April 19, 2008, 01:46:32 pm Hi all,
I just got an old Pepsi Vendo V-148 that is pretty sorry shape that I want to attempt to restore. I have a Cavalier CSS-64 that is in great condition and I couldn't help myself when I saw a junky one that I could try to restore. But the problem I have is that I don't have the key to the lock in this V148. My local locksmith wants upwards of $100 bucks for picking the lock and getting me a new key, and I found a new lock on ebay for 12 bucks, that I ordered hoping that it would fit... It will probably take a week or so for the new lock to get here and I'm want to play with my new toy, so I'm itching to drill the lock, but I was just looking for advice that I *would* be able to get a new replacement lock for this machine if I destroy the old one. Can anyone confirm that this lock: http://cgi.ebay.com/Soda-Snack-Combo-Vending-Machine-Tubular-Plug-Lock_W0QQitemZ150218231252QQihZ005QQcategoryZ50940QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 is the right size for a V148 and if not is it possible to get one that is? Thanks in advance, Max Title: Re: Vendo V-148 Replacement lock Post by: Ocelp on April 19, 2008, 03:01:54 pm I can't confirm for you, (I'm sure someone will) but I was in the same boat with my V56, and the key for my car steering wheel lock fits :biggrin:
