How do I turn off this alarm on my Rowe Saturn?!

So I just picked up a Rowe Saturn jukebox. Thing is, once I got it off of my truck, an alarm started blaring. Mind you this was not plugged in at all. It was some battery powered alarm I imagine was installed as an anti-theft measure. I tried plugging it in, no dice. Tried hitting the service button, no dice. Looked all around and hit every button I could find with no luck.

Thankfully like all old electronics, a trusty kick to the base stopped it. Though if I even so much as touch it, the alarm starts up again (a lesson I learned and stopped with yet another few kicks).

Any idea how to disarm or stop this alarm? Thanks in advance.
 
It's probably the air horn alarm kit installed in the cashbox area. If the cashbox lock cam starts to bend (if the door was being pried open), the lock cam mechanically presses the actuating arm of an air horn. Yes, it's the same air horns you see at football games.

It was an optional kit that Rowe sold for "problem" locations.

Any idea how to shut that bad boy off?
 
Unlock the coin door and the cabinet front lid. You should be able to see the kit inside the machine.

Then you can physically remove the kit.

Otherwise, you have to activate the alarm and let the air horn canister "run down". It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes for the freon in the airhorn to discharge fully.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Well tomorrow afternoon. Midnight would not be such a good idea. :)
