WTB: Famicom Box Key

    Does anyone happen to have the keys that go with the Famicom Box? I bought one off eBay without the keys thinking I'd be able to pick it, but I can't seem to handle the simple 4 pin tubular lock :) If anyone has one that they wouldn't mind making a copy of, I'd be happy to pay for the copy, shipping, and a reasonable service charge. Thanks a lot.


    UPDATE: Sorry if this is off topic here, I just thought I'd post an update in case anyone else ever comes across this same problem. After going to two locksmiths and being told I'd probably have to drill the locks, I was about ready to give up. But a friend of mine had a bunch of keys for the small tubular locks that are on some computers, so we went through all of them and eventually found one that fit. I'm sure most people around here would probably be smart enough to get one with the keys in the first place, but in case anyone's wondering, there are apparently stupid ways around that.

    I've heard several stories of people requesting the keys from Nintendo, and they'll send it free of charge. On the other hand, you can buy a tubular lock pick online for about $60.

    I can't find a pick for the four pin lock anywhere (I can only find picks for seven and eight pin tubular locks, which are too large to fit into these locks). I've ordered a set of security bits so that I can (hopefully) take the thing apart from the other end and then replace the locks. If that doesn't work, I'll break down and take it to a locksmith. I'm just hoping someone around here has the keys so that I can keep the original locks that came with it. But I'll give Nintendo a shout; they've helped me out with keys for a couple of my displays before. Thanks!
