Title
Add O Bank Coin Bank Disassembly
Introduction
The Add O Bank is a cleverly-designed coin bank from the 1940s. They were branded on top by many different businesses such as banks and insurance companies, but the underlying mechanism is the same. The bank displays the amount of money inside, by means of mechanical wheels.
To add a coin, a person inserts a coin into a slot and pushes a handle. The coin drops down into the bank, and the total contained in the bank is updated on mechanical dials.
A key is normally required to open the bank and see the treasures inside. After 80 years, most owners will have misplaced their keys. This guide explains how you can “break the bank” while doing a minimum of damage, in order to get inside. It also explains how to repair the damage, returning the bank to its original condition.
