White after Labor Day? For shame!

Yes it's a wafer lock. Flywheel my camera is very deceptive as my shorts are khaki lol

N-n-n-necro post! Sorry to dig up an old post. The lock has a split core design with wafers. I haven't heard of anyone picking one in the United States. Hoping some of our European members will chime in if it is pickable. I really can't find much info on the core of these Alpha 800s.

DTW, any luck since your original post?

Spent some time on it, but traded it to HT4. Absolutely no progress when I had it though. I have one coming that shipped from the UK I might pass around to the SPP studs here stateside.

I have one myself but never tried to pick it. I think you and I got them from the same guy

I picked one quite some time ago. It was a pain in the ass to get it tensioned and I never really fully understood the mechanism. A friend of mine told me that his opens quite easily but somehow we never really looked at it in more detail. I really would love to take one apart to see how the mechanism works. But even in Germany they are not that common. This thread reminded me that I had this on my todo list.

Cheers
