J&S safe

Recently purchased a top rotary hopper drop safe at a sheriff's online auction in Minnesota. I was only the 2nd bidder. With tax, buyer's fee, I shelled out $14.27. Add to that the gas to/from and total came to about $25. Not including my time because I was in the area on another mission. The safe is from J&S Manufacturing. They don't have an email address and only a PO Box. I think it is a rebranded Meilink. Any other guesses are welcome. The lock is an Ilco P67 mounted VU, very similar to an S&G 6730. I changed the combo. Caution is advised when operating the hopper as it is a pinch machine. Learned my lesson well 25+ years ago when I serviced a rotary hopper. It only took once. Notice the relocker to the left of the lock.

I believe I have seen a safe with a handle like this, but I can't find one now, also no Meilink.

Google FireKing drop safes. Handles, hinges are same. Meilink was absorbed by FireKing some time ago.
