Hey, at least your a native English speaking person, imagine what I have gone
through to come up with words to describe a 'barrel' type of lock... :)

John Robertson gave us a nice theory why op's removed them. Basicly to make it
easier for the thieve to get the money, and thereby saving the coin door.

That would be great. For the glass plate I think I might just found another way
of getting there - Just buy a normal, clear window and stick that stuff on it
that they use to blind cards. It looks just like as if the glass itself is dark,
and you can get them in almost any shade, like 10 to 100% dark in steps of 10
percent. I'll try how this looks first, because shipping of a big glass window
like that might be very troublesome/expensive as wel...

Anyway, I would very much like to buy the metal strip, even if all the paint has
come of or so. If you are willing to sell it, please let me know what you want
for it. I also got many flyers to trade, if interested.

Kind regards,

Mendel
