(1286) Paul J's 'Odds & Ends' & Magnetic Pachinko Lock

Paul J send a package with a Wright glass door lock, Pachinko key and a Pachinko magnetic lock. I just decided to cover it all in a single short video. Thanks for watching!

I used to play Pachinko about 45 years ago in Japan. Gambling for money was illegal, so you would play to win socks. Oddly enough, there was a small store just out the back door that bought socks. What a coincidence!

This works as asmr to me. I like passionate people who explain stuff clearly and i feel i am actually learning something.

[bradw]

Thanks for the bit of info Bill! Nice to see some older stuff, and foreign stuff, to see how things have improved, evolved, and every once in awhile, how some things were better accomplished back when! Neat stuff, always enjoy learning!

Bill, this was great, would love to see more videos like this showing ... interesting and obscure locks and keys.

[molie]

Thanks Bill, very interesting...
Your a legend

[AlbertLebel]

Always nice to see some of the older goodies.

Great to see something different. I'd like to go to Japan for a holiday and buy a bunch of their locks. You hardly ever see Japanese locks around for sale. 😎✌

I keep seeing people using NdFeB magnets to do stuff like this to old magnetic locks and keys, and I have to say I hope nobody minds ruining the lock. Anything that's either old enough or designed for high-temperature applications (not necessarily locks, but proximity sensors, pickups) will probably be made with AlNiCo magnets. AlNiCo compositions have a relatively low intrinsic coercivity and can easily be permanently demagnetized or reversed by a NdFeB magnet.

My mother has a Pachinko machine. Pretty fun old game. My Grandfather on the other hand, has a 1930's one-armed bandit. What an interesting lock on it. I'm assuming its a wafer, the key has a snake-like groove down both sides.

I still find those Wright locks (and there's a few different brands with almost identical construction, all square bodied and all impossible to disassemble conventionally) on storm / atrium doors here in the southeast. They seem to be one of the go to hardware choices for Larson, Pado, and a few other popular manufacturers of these doors made about 15-20 years ago before these companies switched to true Euro cylinders.... Like you, I've never seen one with a security pin before... The door hardware they fit into often has weird backsets and is next to impossible to find replacements for, and it's impossible to change the lock cylinder out without changing the hardware as the door prep won't match up with anything currently sold... Luckily blanks are usually easily found (even if you have to go online for something weird like a PA-1 blank, which oddly enough, my distributor couldn't get, but I found at a local hardware store who uses Hy-Ko blanks) a lot of them run on smaller Yale blanks... Often you can even find depth and spacing from subscription sites...

When I get one the customer just ABSOLUTELY wants a key for it, and door and the rest of the hardware is still good, I'll typically drill out the top holes and then tap them for worm screws, cut a key however I can, and pin it that way.

"Gosh, wouldn't it be easy if this was on the outside" I don't know why but this cracked me up so bad

[trekkielife]

the japanese gamble on pachinko like hell..theres a pachinko casino every where you turn in tokyo

[pestilentz]

In high school, a buddy of mine had a pachinko game. It was fun to play only because it was different. Interesting to see the key and the magnetic lock. Was that a Neodymium magnet?

[RayT]

Thumbs up. What would you say is the most pick resistant core?

[jrodjrxbox]

They still have tons of pachinko machines in Japan

[fragleshnagl]

so I'm practicing picking right now and I keep finding homade picks and tension wrenches that work really well even though I have a decent pick set and I was wondering, do you ever use random picks or tools that you made or modified even though you have professional stuff?

[Aaronhouston]

The first lock with N on it, I have a key I ordered from Japan that works for it’s “NISHIJIN 001” key but that lock can take any assortment of keys from 001-200, the key has no cuts onto it, it basically resembles a blank key and on top of the key are magnets. I will be making a video on it soon

[MikeF]

Bill, the audio is a little better, but you got to do something. It sounds like dirt in the mic screen or something. Run some sine wave tones until you hit the right freq. Then use shop air on the wind screen.

the Magnetic lock would be hard to defeat if it was still in the machine?

[anufriyev]

If the magnetic lock inside the door it will be very hard to use the magnet to open it.
Almost impossible :)
