Can anyone tell me what type of CAM I need to this cab's lock?

I have this cab....




it has these locks...I think they are 5/8" because the videoconnectguy said that 7/8" would fit and $40 later with their minimum order and me picking fill in items I don't need, I have 4 useless 7/8" keyed alike and NON-tubular locks which aren't what I ordered.

Anyways....here's the lock....





now the problem is, the thing the lock slides into doesn't come down parallel to the actual lock. When the control panel comes down, the thing for the lock to slide into when it's turned to keep the cp down is parallel to the floor/cp.....but the lock goes into the cp at an angle....

so, what lock do I need? Keyed alike tubular 5/8" lock? Where can I buy them for less then $9 each? Also, the thing that comes down when you close the CP for the lock to slid into comes down DIRECTLY above where the lock goes in.....so it HAS to be a different back part then normal.


thanks for your help!!

Cab looks GREAT!!!

Curious as to how this matches up to the MVS-U4...CP lock set-up...

What's the underside of the PP look like/latches..

I just took a look at the CP lock set-up in my MVS-U4 and there are these big brackets on the locks that you may need to get this all working...or would have to make them up..
..
I'm not sure on this one..I need something else to compare to..
Otherwise an alternate way of locking this CP(bolting shut) will have to be created..

it closes down right above the lock. That's the 5/8" lock slid in there.

Oh, well I didn't think of bolting it, but yeah, I guess I could do that too..

I could probably make the part needed for this with a vice and hack saw..(don't have the vice though)

You need an elongated straight cam/plate that would have to be bent in the center like a V or L..((using the current locks or same size)
Then a square notch would have to be cut out of one side of the straight cam to fit into the part on the CP when closed..(like a hook..

bump....as there has to be a cam for this. Nobody else has this cab?

bump for help!

Hey,thinking about this..I wonder if you could use the US type cab Control panel latches..
Can you get to the CP from underneath/through the coin-mobo access door..?

Any way to use something like this..?
