To give away to a good home. I have 3 large boxes of TNL magazines that do not deserve recycle bin or the fire pit. Pictured boxes are 20"-16"-9". 3rd box is slightly larger. Mag dates are 1988-2010. A wealth of info. McOmie and Libby safe openings, Technitips, Lock articles and on and on and beyond. ***OLDFAST***. Here is the 'catch'. You must pick these up at my residence. It would be costly to ship.

Also wish I lived closer so I could pick up the magazines. I included a link to their archive magazines for the rest of us not close enough to enjoy your generosity.

Holy shit. What an offer. With you and 00247 both over there, a trip to Wisconsin is looking more & more appealing all the time. The two of you both work with lots of safes... the show n' tell, not to mention the good talks, would be a real treat for me. A real treat. Damn, I'm really gonna have to get outta my little bubble one of these days soon! If those boxes of porn go to someone else in the meantime... I totally understand.

Mike, how did you know about the other boxes of Penthouse, Oui, and Velvet?

Permission to piggy-back, please...How do these magazines compare to Locksmith Ledger? Similarities/differences? Which covers more on safes and safe locks? Thanks.

The Locksmith Ledger I only subscribed to for one year. They were more like product announcements than a tech magazine. The National Locksmith had some pretty good stuff in it, there was a lot of the same as far as "Look at this new tool" kind of articles, but there was plenty of tech information.

The TNL on archive.org is already a lot of advertisement and unofficial advertisement. In nearly every magazine is one safe drilling which is a bit interesting. There seem to be more interesting content, which was removed, e.g. the destructive opening of a 8550 where the last three photos are present which suggest opening by melting the wheel post.
