Reset post office lock to specific combo

[LRL0545]

I have our old post office box. It's a 1959 Corbin single dial lock. I am trying to reset the combo to what our old mailbox combo was. Is that possible? Thanks so much! (images linked)

Made a trade with a Customer/friend of mine, one of those doors installed in a nice wooden box. He gets an Antique Wooden Signed Hockey stick. Haven't changed mine yet, but notice 17 holes in the wheels. A-J is 10 digits, they also use the middle(A/B also a digit) that makes 20 different Letters? Since the gap of holes in the wheels, may be one small area where a certain letter(s)can't be used(forbidden letters?). I would compare which holes are used for existing Combo, then change it, test it, don't close til absolutely positive correct dialing, Good Luck

stratmondo is right, take a look at the holes in the wheels and the washer with that bend finger going into one of the holes, that's the combination number of that one wheel.

remove the stack, keep them in order because some rotate Left and some Right, rotate the washer with the bent pin and put it into the hole closest to your old combination, then put the stack back together and put the locking ring over it to keep it on the post.

here is a photo of a similiar lock taken apart and a blog discussing it.
