Gutted, absolutely

My blue American Lock 1100 spilled its guts

Finally got the blue 1100 opened a few times, so felt it was time to open her up. Now I know why this thing kicked my butt for two weeks. Of the key pins, four were serrated. The driver pins? Well, the first one was a serrated spool and the rest were serrated pins. All those serrations were a royal pain for this newb. Now that I got it opened up, I’m going to start progressive pinning it. Starting with the first pin stack then eventually adding more on until I get them all back in. Then it’ll be time to move on to my yellow 1100!
