Had to call in a safe guy today by the name of Doug McQeen from Cleveland OH. Took a look at Meilink safe and decided to drill. Doug let me know it was a challenge with the RCP, even for him. It is a Meilink Safe with a Eagle lock, not a S&G. He did manipulate a safe my buddy brought over which had a S&G from 1985, per the tag installed by Pittsburg lock company. Facinating today to watch, but the stories he told of the last 35 years were a big plus. Looking for another as I type...lol.

Safes are like a modern adventure creating so many great stories. And yes, that Eagle lock looks nasty to manipulate!

Btw. there is a patent showing something quite similar to this Eagle lock.

Thanks. He had a lot of info on his phone. I believe this was one of his pics. Absolutely fascinating man. And a long student of safe manipulation. Corliss safes are his specialty, but is endeared to all antique safes. Traveled all over the US.

Did he try using an audio amplifier at all?

No he did not.
