Jer, Our friend and fellow collector Bob Coon from Menasha, Wiscosnsin has always recommended that upright machines travel with their lids secured another way than using the lock! He has seen too many locks torn out, or just slightly deranged from hoisting them and the travel itself. That may have been your problem Jer, even though you have years of experience and "just a few" uprights yourself! ;-)
I have always transported uprights with the locks unlocked, and either strapped the lids down, or used another means. Straw poll anyone!?

Thanks! Thanks for all the suggestions for opening my Victrola lid. I didn't have to resort to any lubrication in the lock. A friend helped and through a combination of gently flexing and pushing the lid, we were able to operate the lock. Mike, if your check is in the mail, I'll cash it and buy good beer.

They have zero feedback with Ebay. And I remember the last auction they advertised, there are some of the exact items that are in this one. There is a killer Rockola Commando that I sure would like to have, but the photo is the same one that was in the prior auction. I wonder if the auction house owns much of that stuff.
