Why are such seemingly simple things always so complicated?  I just checked the 
locks on my serial number 2 and they are stamped '6MAC1'.  I have no idea of 
the bit configuration.  Different bits does complicate matters  John M

It would be nice to know if all early Amberolas were keyed the same.
The locks on the early Amberolas that I have seen have a key code
stamped on the back of the lock. The locks on the machines that I
have access to are stamped '6M5'. This can best be seen by looking
at the lock on the record storage door. I would be interested in hearing
if other early Amberolas have the same locks. Note: we are talking
only about the earliest Amberolas that use a flat, stamped steel key.

FYI - the bit configuration of the key posted on Loran's is different
than the one that works in my Amberola.
