I'm looking for a set of keys to buy or borrow for an AWSD. I assume the door and panel key are all the same but the coin bucket is probably a more unique cut.

I would really prefer to not have to drill these out.

If you can't find a key, you can remove the back cover since its just 4 screws, and unhook the locking tangs from the back with a socket. Plenty of room to get in there and work. I have absolutely done this before.

Unfortunately, this won't help you with the coin box. Those are often keyed differently than the standard LY1153 that Taito used across cabs. Spec is an "Alpha Z-Lock" key and they are always different. So that one you will likely have to pick or drill.

Thanks, I see there's plenty of access for the front door and coin door. I don't suppose there's any tricks to open the control panel non destructively too?

FWIW I ordered a set of tubular lock picks too, I'll post results when they get here if I can't come across a key.

The control panel is going to be a little trickier. You will have to disconnect it from the back with a hex wrench while a friend holds it in the front. Then you MIGHT be able to get int here with a wrench and undo the tangs.

I'd be happy to loan/sell you a LY1153 Key or two as I have some spares. Shoot me a DM with your address and I will get it out.
