Cheers.

Actually all Nintendo cabinets were standardized on a "K6510" round (ACE) style key number.

Same style lock, but not same keying of.

The chances of having a key from one cab unlocking the other, unless specifically keyed to be the same I would figure would be pretty slim.

Anyway...

When I first read the initial post, it seemed as if he expected that the keys would just work in any Nintendo cab (expecting they'd be keyed the same), but upon re-reading, I guess it is more of a "Since they share the same lock type, I figured I'd at least try my luck with the keys I have" sort of thing.

--- Quote ---The first game I ever bought was a Mario Bros., and after I bought it
I was pretty much on my own as far as fixing it up and finding
parts, etc..  Anyhow, the only lock open was the coin panel on the
front.  Because the game was an original Nintendo cabinet, I was able
to buy a "Nintendo" key which was supposed to fit all the Nintendo cabinets.
Luckily, they key did fit the back, so I was able to get in the cabinet.

I only have one Nintendo cabinet so I can't confirm this, but I'm sure someone here can. I have heard this from more than one person. Also, the key code is just that, the key code. It is not a lock style. Two keys with the key code of K6510 = keyed alike. For example, go to wicothesource.com and you will see the option for keyed alike locks with a specific keycode. You could buy a few now, and 5 years down the road buy a key for that same brand of lock and specify that key code and it will open your lock. That is the whole point of key codes.
