TAP: OPENING P.O. BOXES Opening P.O. Boxes: First of all playing with mailboxes (whether it blowing them up or stealing the mail) is a federal so be CAREFUL. The old type of PO boxes (the type that have two wheels marked a-z) are very simple to open. To find out the combination place your finger on the opening button and give it a hard jerk. As you do this watch the right hand wheel very closely. You will notice that it moves slightly. Turn the wheel to the next position the wheel and try again. At one point you will notice that the wheel stays absolutly still. This is the opening letter for this wheel. The reason this works is that when the button is hit a cam hits the wheel and thus jumps. When the wheel is aligned to its opening letter the cam falls into the cut in the wheel and there is no movement. Reprinted from TAP --END OF FILE-- -END OF FILE--
