FOR SALE: Graphophone Coin OP Keys Fitted To Your Lock $65

Post by long_island_phono »

I've been working on a BS for a few months now and seeing the recent thread discussing key availability and the fact that the BS here was lacking any key I set about designing and making one. I have a large selection of turn of the century typesetter's brass stock all stamped according to size and happen to have the right thickness for these Graphophone Coin Op lid locks.

For $65 I will disassemble and clean your lid lock, cut and fit 2 keys and ship back the lot. A little buffing makes the keys looked well used and if desired I can plate them. If I find the right steel stock I will start making them with that. You may need to play with the fit of the lock in the lid to get things seated correctly.

Just for reference, here's how my original BS key is shaped.

I'm curious about that key since it is blank. Have you ever opened up the lock?

Odd though that is, yes, the lock functions perfectly. This is the most original BS I've ever seen. For whatever reason, the lock wasn't all that secure.

Here's a picture of the original key for my BS Coin Op...works as expected and have used it several time to lock and unlock the cabinet.
