Mosler four wheel combination lock

I was given an old Mosler safe. No combination was with it. It is open. After looking around for a while I discovered it has a Mosler four wheel combination lock. The lock itself has only 2 complete dials(3 & 4) and the one on the dial to open. I was told a locksmith looked at the safe and he said it could be used as is. The safe has no serial numbers on it and the only numbers I could find were on the wheel cover and that was 7728...also inside the safe behind the door cover plate, 550 is scratched into the fireproofing material. I believe from what I have read this is a handset combination lock. I can read what the wheels are set to ie one is 72 the other 62 and these wheels are marked 3 and 4 the 1 and 2 outside rings are missing, but the inner rings are still there. I need to know how to open it, by that I mean is the #4 wheel the one I start with or end with? and if it is the end then how many times do I turn the 3 wheel to set it for the

4 wheel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks from an old dog ;o) Reply to my email address please.

Without knowing what Mosler lock you have that's gonna be tough. Is it a direct entry fence? Or do you retract the lock bolt on the last turn of the dial? Is there someplace that you can post a picture of the inside of the lock case on line and then post a link to it here?

That would make it a whole lot easier to help you.

Sorry but if you want help, the least you can do is come back here to get it.

Thanks for your help everyone I do appreciate it. I believe I'll take the smart route for me and have a locksmith friend of mine come over here and set the old mosler combination for me. I can see that without some proper training this is best left to a professional...and I hate working on something when someone leaves me a mess after trying to fix it themself. I'll save money and frustration this way. Thanks for the good advice.
