"That's the original jiffy pop. I wish that were true, it's an [(antique?) bedwarmer](http://www.ehow.com/how_738...)." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Welcome to the ///M 3 Club! I'm still trying to figure out if I want to black out my kidneys. I bought some black plastic ones, but I think I'd rather go for the OEM black chrome ones. Not sure where to find those though." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"I've had good results with the unstuffed furry toys, Zuni loves those." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Anything from Brooks Brothers and/or Allen Edmonds." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Ok so my wife is a nurse, so I have the stethoscope. I am a photojournalist so I have pro audio recording equipment. I'll give this a try." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"? I wrote on it with my finger in the dust." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Also even though there are millions of possible combinations, all systems have flaws, and hopefully we'll be able to exploit some of those inherit in the locking mechanism." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"See note about it being on the lease, so it doesn't belong to my friend." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"I love how there are those green corridors that connect it to the beach and that park to the south. So cool." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"See you there (not likely but we'll be running)!" - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Cool!" - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Judging from how easily the dial spins I would say that it had been used regularly for a long time so I'm guessing a good amount of wear. Should I take some closeups of the dial and handle?" - Dave Bullock / eecue

"How about the PDF he links to? [Safecracking for the Computer Scientist](http://www.crypto.com/papers...). Jasperspaw, have you had any experience with these safes? Does its age make it any easier to crack?" - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Yeah I don't think we'll be spending money to get it open, the safe is on the lease so my friend can use it but can't keep it. I'd like to try safe cracking, [here's an post I read about it](http://mikesoldsafe.blogspot.com/2009...)." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Well the safe is on the lease for the warehouse so my friend doesn't own it. I also doubt he wants to spend any money on getting it open." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Ok so the thing in the upper right hand corner is a clock drive, it has little wheels that open and close circuits, kind of like a garden timer. Those things that have the yellow coils and the metal rectangular reeds are relays, they can open/close to turn off larger loads via a smaller amount of electricity. The thing with the piece of foam on it in the upper left is a counter, it moves every time it receives a pulse. The thing where all the wires are coming in to is basically a receptical that you would then plug other wires in to on the outside, like a patch panel. I think you may have this fellow's home made sprinkler control system." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Yeah should make for an interesting experience and it will be a nice bonus that my friend will be able to use the safe once we're done." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"My favorite part is that it takes place in my little unincorporated city of Altadena." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Ok I missed the part about a text post, fixed that for me." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Got it, thanks!" - Dave Bullock / eecue

"So a friend of mine is moving in to a warehouse as a live/work space. The warehouse has a loft area and in the loft there is a giant Hall's safe. The safe is locked and the owner of the building doesn't know the combination. The safe is on my friend's lease so we can't do anything that would damage it, but we're welcome to try and open it and use it. I didn't have a pen and paper, so I wrote my username in the dust on the top, but if need be I can bring update the gallery with a photo of my username and the date." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"When I say that the safe is on lease, I mean that they actually listed the safe on the lease, so we can't just drill it, but if we can figure out the combo we can use it." - Dave Bullock / eecue

"Did I do this wrong?" - Dave Bullock / eecue

"I did a bit of research and it looks like these were built around the mid to late 1800s. The dial spins freely. Sorry about not taking a photo of my name on there, but I figured finger painting in the dust would be sufficient. I don't think we can drill the safe, so cracking is probably our only option." - Dave Bullock / eecue
