    Default Speed Racer ate my key.....

    Anyone have any suggestions to get a key out of a locked Speed Racer? A friend had company over and the kids were getting tokens out of the machine and closed the door on the chain and the key is inside. The lock looks like a standard tumbler, not sure if it is easily picked. He can not reach the keys through the few holes in the rear of the cabinet. Any suggestion I can give him?

    Thanks...

    Use a coat hanger and lift up the door catch, or catch the keys, or go through the bottom if it has a hole and push the catch up with a screwdrive r WARNING - Unplug the machine befor attemping this
    These are my opinions and no body elses and you can't have them

    Is there not a large hole at the bottom or is there a transformer there, where the tokens would drop down to the bottom (over flow)

    Most machines have a big hole on the bottom you may be able to release the lock latch or reach the key also some also have hole on back side

    Actually I would blame Chim-Chim.
    Your vest bet is like d mowery said, pop the latches. It is the easiest way to get yer keys.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    it appears to be the same case as the new pulsar? if so just reach into the right lift hole and feel up and forward. you will feel the latch, hook your finger on top of it and push down it will open right up!!BB
