Hi Tom,

Are you  in a rush to get the jukebox? Otherwise order a key from 
Victoryglass or see if a member of this list lives close enough to you 
to lend you a key Seeburg M100B uses a G219 according to my list. You 
really do not want to drill the lock...you won't be able to replace it 
and there are three of them on the machine - two on the sides and the 
rear door - all keyed alike.

Now the cash door is another matter, drill it out as each operator had 
their own lock, but cabinet locks were left with the manufacturers lock 
for ease of service...
