    I'm a safe and vault specialist in southwest Idaho. This particular Diebold Bankers was in rough shape--unknown combo, several missing or broken parts (casters, timelock, inner door, etc), and wasn't working very well at all. I opened it with a 1/8" hole and serviced the lock. The customer listed it for sale, but after many months with zero interest, I ended up trading for it just to save it from the scrapyard. After removing the lock, the safe sat in my garage for several years until a collector made me an offer on it. He wanted a bronze lock body and chrome dial, so I retrofitted it with a S&G M6730 and convertible spyproof dial. When all was said and done, I lost a little money on the safe but ended up with a Diebold Anti-Dynamite in my collection. I have plenty more pics if you're interested.
