chips4sale on KLOV has them pretty cheap. You will need to reuse the latch part.

You can try twisted quarter also

You will have to keep the end with the hook and transfer it over to the new lock but it should work.

Isn't that just a standard lock of that type? When I bought my pinball  machine I replaced a lock like that and all i did was take it to a local locksmith and say "I need another of these" and two minutes later I walked out with one.

Sorry to revive an older thread like this but any suggestions on how to unlock one of these?  I just got an old Soul Caliber cabinet but it did not come with a key for the lock (almost the same as pictured in this thread).   It's the coin door lock so I can't just get to it from the back of the cabinet without cutting into the coin box.  I can see old tokens in the bottom of the coin bucket too, just mocking me!   Once I've got it unlocked then I'll just remove and replace with one that I actually have a key for.

*edit* whoops, mines actually a lock like this one: http://intersol.us/p7hg_img_1/fullsize/barrelLock1_fs.jpg.  Still, any help is appreciated.

Those are tough to pick - just get a carbide bit and drill it out.
Man, will my cab EVER be finished?

You might just be able to shove a long screw driver in and break the lock with a hard twist. Failing that, fire up a drill like smalltownguy suggests.
$6.75 the hard way-one quarter at a time.
