Old Filing Cabinet

Well having just read the posting about the Diebold I have tried to open it with 4+ turns left to 22, then right past 85 three times, then left past 30 two times, then right past 1 once to stop on 1 but still no go. There is no handle or anything to push.

I have something similar to what your talking about. by chance is there a little sliver knob in the center of the dial that turns when the dial is on "0"? If so do this: L 4 times to 22 R past 85 TWICE stopping on the 3rd time you see it. L past 30 ONCE stopping on it the 2nd time you see it change directions and slowly, slowly turn dial to "0", turn the little knob till it stops and then continue to 85 and it should open if you have the right combination. pics here for limited time:

So what happens? Does the dial stop on the final turn or just keep turning?

If this is an 8400 series lock with the little pointer knob in the middle of the dial, dial the combo in the usual order. After the last number is dialed turn R to 0, hold the dial on 0, turn the little pointer R as far as it goes, then turn the dial R to stop.
