We mustn't fail the MossMan!
I just realized there's not even letters on the body, so I'm not even sure just how old this one is.
Double ball bearing locking & the core would be of the oldschool type like this one.
So here's the problem... it's 1 o'clock all day, every day around here. lol
The plug comes to a solid stop and refuses to turn beyond that. Ideas?????
I cannot imagine this is simply a false set. I've picked it multiple times. I've also made a working key
in hopes of providing me a little more torque on the plug while not raping the shit outta the keyway.
At this point, I've exhaused everything my little brain can muster up.
-Filled with degreasers & lubricants (thru the drainage holes till it's hemorrhaging out the keyway) lol
-I've picked on it for some time under the assumption that this IS just a crazy false set.
-with 1 o'clock rotation of the plug, I thought it might allow for shimming. Nope
-and a last ditch effort... a 9 hour deep-freeze brought no change either.
I'm welcoming an "oh... duh!" moment. I hope I've just overlooked something simple.
If you have any ideas (no matter how rediculous)... lemme know and I'll give it a try.
This lock should be frustrating the shit outta me by now. But I'm a sick man, so it's actually starting to intrigue me. lol
