Key will not turn

Have had this happen before. After sitting for a number of weeks I can not turn the key to start position.
Can be forced with pliers gripping the key.
So, I've had the switch apart and lubed it but it still is happening.

Emco makes a switch that replaces it. But sure seems something is catching. Has to be an issue in the upper part of the housing.

You should remember that it's peace of mind you're after and not just fixing the machine. R.Pirsig
