Looks like it's in the "normal" position. I can open the case and get

can use my key? I'd try it, but I though that before I end up with a
bunch of little parts falling all over the place I'd ask first :-)

I just picked up an RS/6000 7012-320H this weekend
from Sean Caron. It
seems complete, but I haven't tried to power it up yet. It's currently
keyless. How hard would it be to re-key it to use the key from my
7013-530? I've never tried such a thing. Anybody done it, or tried it?
As long as the switch is in the Service position, it's trivial. If
you look carefully into the key slot, you can see the ends of the
tumbler pins. Just drill into the side of the barrel and let the pins
out. Or, replace the whole assembly with a three-position rotary
switch. The wiring on the 320 lock is identical to the 530.
