Tubular (Ace/Chicago) picks with variable per-pin tension

[assweasel]

And just a hint so you don't all get the impression i am a prick when it comes to tubular ORDER is the cardinal rule. NOT TENSION.

It has been a long, and altogether unpleasant day. That, coupled with the fact that tone of voice really doesn't translate well typed up on a forum, leaves me feeling that I probably read into your statements, elements that weren't really there. Then, full of seemingly righteous indignation, I force-fed myself a foot. (It's going to take a bit to wash the taste of that out of my mouth)

I apologize. I ken your hesitation, and respect your reservations.

Its all good.

I just spent 25 years of my life servicing this particular lock. Ask me about kwikset and i am duh???? What the hell you talking about.
But Tubular no no. Nothing I don't know.

For one there were only 3 tubes that went into padlocks 20 years ago.
2nd is every tube ever produced 20 years ago was punched with a code.
I just so happen to have a reference to all those codes.

No mention of this in the post and really you own one of those locks????
I collect this crap and the rarity of the padlock he speaks of I don' even have one.

And trust me I would buy it.

So we all good MR. I don't take offence to shit.

AW - Have you played with a Fort tubular lock? Think it is from that age range you mentioned. Found this one at a yard sale a while back.
