I'm happy you all like it. I feel guilty because I've spent more than I should have. It was 650, discounted at 520, then they offered it at 450 and finally got it for 400.
I'm going to disassemble the lock to see how it works and to change the combination.
It has a combination lock on the right, you turn each dial with the key, but also a screwdriver would work, counterclockwise until it stops. That's the zero. Then count the clicks going clockwise to compose the four digits combo. Then you can use the key, under the golden left tab.
It's clear that it was painted, not professionally I guess. I'm not sure I'm willing to restore it now. I need to find a place for it. It's not a big safe but it's very heavy. It took two people to lift it from my car trunk. I'm hoping to make a wooden base with four wheels, like a small pallet. I may add a wooden removable top. It could become our new coffee table, if the girlfriend accepts it in the house. It's in the garage for now.
Cheers
... i know the feeling.....
