Anyone know how to pick the lock on a gumball machine? I inherited one at work, but it takes quarters, and I'd someday like to get my money back. As well as y'know, refill it with gumballs.

Depending on the size of the lock, you can use a broken-off pen clip and try it that way. Otherwise, locksmith?

Funny you should ask, we had one in the house when I was growing up, and it took me years to pick into ours. I don't know if this will work for you, but what I did was to turn the glass bowl section - a lot - which unscrewed that center bar holding the top on. Do that until it's lose, and then pull the top right out.

Visual aids would SO be good to have here.
