Title: Key for Karate Champ -- Disregard, Lock Replaced
Post by: PL1 on April 25, 2013, 10:03:30 pm

A friend pulled out and fired up his Home/School Use Only Karate Champ 2-player cab yesterday for the first time since he moved to a new location several years ago.

Unfortunately he seems to have misplaced the coin door key.   :dunno

Pretty sure it's the original lock with a flat face (similar to below), number 150.

In case he can't find it, does anyone know a good source for a replacement key?

EDIT: Replaced the lock and left the old one in the coin bucket in case my friend ever does find the misplaced key.

i replaced mine at lowes. it was a mailbox key and it came with 3 different face for ~$5. Not sure if thats what your interested in or if you wanted a legit original (if thats even a thing)

Could he just get new cam locks? I've gone to the hardware store, bought three cam locks with identical key numbers, and ended up with 6 new keys for my old cab.

I can easily replace the locks, but prefer not to when EVERYTHING else on it is factory original.

Figured someone might have a spare #150 key laying around in their parts pile.   :dunno

You never know if you don't ask.

Gotcha!  :cheers:

Sorry, I don't have a #150 key on me.
