Hi, Alberto;
I remember quite well, back in the 80's, when a key maker gave up trying to open an HP29C security cradle without the original key. He claimed never seeing such 'key bay' (is that correct?) in his 30+ years as a key maker, and he was afraid that it had an extra safety mechanism (kind of a pin in the end of the key cursor) to release the whole system.
I wish you success, and if you actually find such mechanism, please let us know.

Hi Alberto,
I know a guy who has been German and European champion in lockpicking several times, if you wish, I can establish contact between you two. He might even do it for a good bottle of Italian wine...
Greetings, Max

I have had good luck with file cabinet or small keys and jiggling. Just have to find one that can be inserted.
