[pianotech] Lock

[Roger@Integra.net]

Rick,
I believe the lock used by Wurlitzer was made by the Corbin lock company. I 
have one in my parts bin with a key mark as BPW3. I would make a guess the P 
and W would stand for Piano-Wurlitzer. You might make a long shot inquiry 
with the Corbin Co. When I come across those locks I remove the lid hinges 
and reach inside to disable the lock. It's tricky to do, but if you hold 
your tongue in the right position it can be done.
