Re: Allwin Double Your Money

Sir, when I zoom in on your picture of locks and key ring it appears all of those keys are the same, a key slab with only two slots. Perhaps that is the same key type I need. Please post a picture with one of those keys aligned with a ruler so I can attempt to make a key. Thank you

Re: Allwin Double Your Money

Appreciate the old lock and new key puzzle. But with a picture of a key on a ruler then I will have a head start on trying to cut my own key. Love the challenge. Merry Christmas

Re: Allwin Double Your Money

Sorry for my confusion. I thought my lock is not original and was going to search for a replacement. Favor please; can you post a photo of one of those keys I can see on the ring. If you can put key next to a ruler it will help me know the dimension. Thank you and a Merry Christmas

I have begun the rekey process. Please post a picture of the front and back of one good looking lock. The pictures will help me when at the antique stores this week. Thank you.

Re: Allwin Double Your Money

Hummm, well then I will scout the antique shops. What is the correct name for this type of lock? Can you post a photo of the face and back of a lock?

Did you see the eclipse this morning? Here is a photo someone took and posted online.

Re: Allwin Double Your Money

Pretty neat seeing that old store. Two pictures: after and before Restoration is complete less a replacement top glass. I disassembled entire game, cleaned the graphics and installed new plastic cover. Also polished all chrome. The lock box wood is Beech but couldn’t match the stain so that door wil...

Thank you for the history link. As you can see I’m missing the top glass so extra pictures help with recreating the graphics.

Re: Allwin Double Your Money

Thanks for the money box pictures. Shouldn’t be a challenge to reproduce. Going to a hardwood lumberyard tomorrow to get a stick of yellow birch.

Re: Allwin Double Your Money

I am in Chicago this week. Went to a coin shop looking for my one penny coins. They were selling for a dollar each. I bought 10 so they sold to me for .50 each. One coin is a 1909; a 112 year old coin for fifty cent; pretty good deal.

Re: Allwin Double Your Money

Thanks for this information. My wife said I should tell y’all that we met while stationed at RAF Alconbury in 1980. And she wonders why we didn’t start collecting these games back then.

Re: Allwin Double Your Money

Roger that on the coin box hinge, lock, and inside view, I can be creative and rebuild an appropriate door.

What type of wood was used for the case?

Is there a picture of the key for the case door lock? An image will help locating a replacement.

Thanks
