Thread: Just found these coin related things in my garage. One for sweets & one for photos.

Well, it looks like it has been painted.

I may have the key. The renter left behind a bunch of keys too. Skeletons even. I believe the lock has the normal tumbler assembly and uses a relatively modern type of key.

My photo shows a Durst (a major competitor of your Besseler back in the day) enlarger frame so adapted.

Perfect! That's exactly what I was hoping to do with it.

Wow! That's a nice set up you have there Dougsmit.

That sucks if it has been painted, if you have the key you are still in the money. I sold the same machine about a year ago. All original,with the key for $700. You can buy them restored for around $600. If yours works,has the key but has been painted,you could probably still get $300-400 from someone who collects coin op.
