It couldn't have been so hard to pick, being a machine from the 1970's - did tubular's even exist back then?

If you look at the ebay picture, and assuming that no one changed the lock since the machine's inception, it sure looks like the lock was a tubular. In fact it doesn't look much different than the locks I see on machines today...
Wikipedia indicates that the first patent was awarded in 1833 for a tubular lock.

Lockpickshop says they were invented in the 1930's... Believe what you want but either way they were probably around in the 1970's...
