Did Anyone Buy a Parts Lot on Ebay from AUSTINWORLD on 6-2

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!

Did Anyone Buy a Parts Lot on Ebay from AUSTINWORLD on 6-2

Ebay Item #123775725263 (now completed, of course).

I didn't bid on the lot because it was primarily a wheel pack part lot. However, it turns out the seller included the lock bolt and fence mechanism in that listing from a lock I purchased from him that I need.

I would be willing to pay for or trade for the parts I need.

Thank you.

David

P.S. - I've already contacted the seller (AUSTINWORLD) to forward my request to his customer. I'll likely also post this message on the A-L and K-P sites.

I can't believe they sold the things without contacting you first.. they must have not known what they had..

I am impressed you can spot and recognize your missing parts in a photo. Isn't that like looking in a photo of a scrap pile and spotting the one 327 piston in a bunch of 350 ones?

Hope the seller provides the buyers contact info. I don't picture the locksmith world small enough (or this site all encompassing enough) for you to get your parts without a massive lucky break. I have had parts just plain stolen from lots I won. I feel your pain.

Good luck.

Closing out an old story, the buyer of the parts recently sent me the missing roller bolt and fence.

Without naming names, I will simply say I hope to have the opportunity to repay the favor.

Here’s a picture of the completed lock:

Great! Do you know what model it is? I can't find it in any of the public S&G catalogues. What purpose has the construction of the lock?

I’m sorry - I do not know the model number. Probably good not me to investigate. Maybe a patent search will turn something up?

Is on the dial ring the same number as on the lock parts?

Does this lock have movable flies?
