Key Duplicator Identifying

Postby UnlockD » 17 May 2011 1:06

Google has failed me thus far - perhaps one of you veterans could identify this Key Machine for me? It would help to know what I`m working with, especially if it breaks.

I was just using it, that`s why it`s dirty. :)
If anyone has used one of these badboys, please enlighten me as to what it is.

All it says is do not oil machine.
It appears the Identity plated was removed for some reason. I hadn`t noticed until bringing it home.

That is a Cole 3kcc machine, I have one just like it. Not a bad machine, just a little outdated. The cutters cost about 70 dollars to replace, if my memory serves me right.

@UnlockD:

The picture of that machine takes me back quite a few years... I cut many a key on a machine just like that in my youth...
