Hand Change Wheel Clocking Mystery

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!

Entirely possible. But, I know for sure the first wheel was correct because it had no pin underneath. Since one of the three was different than the other two, it seemed safe enough to assume it is the middle wheel, which leaves the remaining wheel to be the top wheel.

I have a hunch that this is was modified, or maybe a "between designs" model I have some pictures that I need to crop and post to show why, but spare time for photoshopping has been limited the lately. Amsec still hasn't replied to my email I proceeded with the serial number and pictures. I'll be pleasantly surprised if they ever do.

If you are registered with Amsec they are most helpful. At least that has been my personal experience.
