Time to dig out some of my DEC XX2247 keys

15 Jul 2015

...

  Only two bidders (so far), of which Bidder  s***e
(695) is clearly
 insane. :)  
 Were these keys one size fits all? Or were they custom ala the IBM 5170 keys? 
Most (and all that I have seen) DEC machines that used this type of key were keyed alike
and took the XX2247. I believe you could specially order a machine with a different
pinning
to the lock, but I've never seen it done.

Incidentally, I think a good locksmith could cut a key based on the XX2247 code (only,
they
wouldn't need a key to copy). I have no idea how much they would charge for that but I
think
it would be less than the current bit on this Ebay item.
