Hi People,

I have been wanting to know how to pick a Mill's Bell locks on old antique slot machines, I have looked for information Many times and not had much luck.

I picked up a video on just how to pick them and posted it on my website for others like me that work on old slot machines. It is there listed under Tips at [ADMIN EDIT: the website listed in my profile. /]

If anyone would like to solve the same problem, of how to pick these old Bell locks with what I call a snake cut key, which is a square stock key with a different mill cut down each side.

We call it a laser cut key.
