gotcha, its a common master dial combination lock. there are several methods of working out its combination posted around here somewhere, and I have been meaning to read them some time, but actually, I use a shim to open these things and if I want the combination, I have a piece of wire that loops from the shackle down into the opened lock to hold back the locking dog til i can see the wheels, which i then line up visually and to make this visual alignment into a combination, i add 15 to each of the numbers i get lining it visually. The problem with doing that is that once you know the combination, you have corrupted the possiblity of learning it by the manipulation method. If you want to learn the manipulation method, you will need several locks whose combinations you don't know. A friend of mine posted something about a book that has what he says is a great method of manipulation, the post is on locksports@yahoo, and he dosent go into the method, he's just mentioning the book.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
