Ion lock mechanism
ed12:
well we must deduce the cover is plastic....
if u cannot get it easy way ?
2-x-drill bits down the center of the lock (top-down) works just fine

that is an unusual lock. it must be a really early cabinet. all the machines we have (20 some odd) all came with a standard "cam" lock like I pictured.
if you are looking to just replace it, just grab the golden slider part with a pair of vicegrips and twist it off. the body is just pot metal, it'll break clean off.

I got clarification from a Megatouch guy yesterday. The lock is the factory lock for the Ion, not the Force Ion. The standard cam locks are on the cash boxes, but the CPU locks are cam yet different. He directly recommended against twisting it off as the bottom part(with the "slot") is a cast piece the tab locks into, as it would damage the case. He is sending me a key with the replacement power supply I ordered for another unit. Luckily, he said it's the same key for all Ion CPU locks and can be duped at @ Depot.
Thanks for helping me get to the bottom of it.

wierd. is that key a L564? because yes, they are all the same... but no, it's not the same as what I have on ANY of our machines.
unless that was some kind of replacement lock for the original cam lock.
i know the setup to lock the front is a joke...so i wonder if that lock you have there was a "fix" for it.

Yeah, it's odd. The entire lot of these Ion Evos had the same thing. The key arrived today so at least thats working now. Of course I've ended up with some other issues that I need to sort out.
