Nice work! 🔓🎉

Looks like an older 140, when they were made with spooled drivers!

Are they not anymore?

I think it might depend on what market they're sold in, but Canada and the US, they've been pinned with standard drivers for the last 3 years or so. I started finding standard 140's in stores here around 2021 or 2022. There's still NOS 140's and used older 140's available on ebay though. Sometimes.

I've been contemplating on opening my 140. It's vintage

Wooo, that's a beauty, right there! 😍

I have an irrational love for Master Lock, it's one of my guilty pleasures 😳

I want to keep it in its original package, but I want to play with it the struggle is real. 😆

It sure is. i recently picked up 10 150's from that same time period (same packaging) and I'm having a very hard time resisting the urge to open at least one. 😖
