S&G 8088's

[wsbpress]

There is a military surplus store in my area with a bin of S&G 8088's for sale. If anyone is interested I can bring some to the CON. I am under the impression that these can be hard to find, which is why I am posting this. If no one is interested I won't bring any because I plan on packing very light.

that's the combination padlock, right? if i recall, the government issued some memos requesting that agencies and so forth discontinue their use due to concerns about the lock potentially being defeated too easily. now, it's an S&G so "easily" is a relative term. for civillian use i'm certain they're fine.

personally, i'm going to appeal during my talk for anyone who can obtain model 833 padlocks for me. i've got a couple things that i'd dream of securing with them but they are impossible to acquire.

That's right. I had a friend change the combo for me so I could try to manipulate it. I found it very easy to get the last number. I was also able to feel two other gates on the wheels but I couldn't determine the correct numbers from them. I haven't spent very much time on it, I put it on the backburner along with so many other projects.
