round star floor safe

Forgot how to dial the combination on that old safe? Think you got the right numbers but the handle is stuck? What safe should you buy? Ask your safe questions here!

Post a clear in focus photo of the entire safe head please. There are too many Star safe heads out there.. it's like saying I have a Ford (without mentioning the year or model), and asking if we have info on how to fix a noise it's making. 8)

sorry a pic would be good. I'm still trying to figure out how to do that. been trying for the last two hours and can't get it to work.
I know that it's easy once you figure it out
In the mean time.... it has a illinois duo lock core in the center of the safe circle and nothing else other than a lift wire. Do you know if it turns clockwise or counter clockwise to open? thanks sorry i couldn't get the picture to work.
