Actually, now that you mention it, for me it literally is. Heh heh. I bought an
Elevator Action recently and the seller had tucked the power cord inside the back door for freight shipping. After it had arrived I was unable to open the back door with the key because the anti-theft bars Taito liked to use on their doors had jammed. I've had the game for weeks now and still haven't been able to get into it to test it. And you can't just drill out the lock because then you're really screwed -- the lock bars are still there and now you have no way to turn them. No key for the coin door, so I can't go in through there.
Hopefully I can take it to the next repair party at Dokert's to get some assistance to crack this baby open.
