WANTED *** Looking for a Centurion Upper Housing Key

Recently acquired an old Bell Canada  Rotary Centurion from an antique dealer that originally came out of Quebec, 514 area code.

It already had its coin vault side lock removed (and the coin box is missing its lid) but when it was decommissioned  they never removed the upper housing lock so I can't get into the phone to wire it up or mount it.

I really don't want to destroy the lock to try and get into it and was hoping someone here would have, or know where I could find a spare upper housing key Bell would've used in that area for this unit.

Need photos of the whole phone, front, sides and back to start with.

Additional pictures aren't necessary. Anyone who collects or works with Centurions and would have a matching key to sell or loan would know the details of the phone. They are all the same, with the exception of the cut of the keys.

Nevermind.

I couldn't remember if anyone had posted images of a rotary Centurion on the Forum ever and thought you would like to showcase your phone in this topic for posterity.

I did a search and found images of one that had already been posted, several years ago, so anyone wondering what a rotary Centurion looked like could view it there.
