Hello, I am looking to restore a nickle Columbia Slot Machine I just purchased. It is in great shape (1930s), but the keys have been lost. Does anyone know the type of locks used in these older slot machines (not by brand name, but by lock type-- ie. pin tumbler, tubular, disc tumbler, warded, etc.) ?

Can these locks be picked? I really do not want to drill a hole into the lock, but I may not have any other option.

Thanks

Most of the locks were die-cast tubular. A master locksmith may be able to pick it if it's not frozen or deteriorated.
 
Thanks for the help.

I found a local pick locking club that is going to try and open the lock.
