Got the safe open tonight! It took me about fifteen minutes to free-spin the lock open, however actually getting the door open took about an hour and a half. The safe hadn't been opened in decades and several layers of paint had glued it shut. Copious amounts of razor blade work, banging with a dead blow, PTFE lubricant, and gentle prying eventually coaxed the door open. Unfortunately there was nothing in it, actually there wasn't even a safe in it... The back side of the safe had been removed and the door opened into the wall! Talk about disappointing. The lock was of a group 2 design with two locking bolts. It only had two wheels and opens on a R-L-R to open dialing sequence. The contact points are between 55 and 68 and the lock stops when opening on R50. Interestingly enough, the gates on this lock are quite wide, 8 numbers to be exact, so dialing one of these open would be quite feasible.
