[DeTomaso] Ignition ket stuck in lock

[Julian Kift]

WD40 or alternative penetrant won't hurt anything on the tumbler side, which is independent of the electronic switch screwed on the back of it. Although the penetrant may be needed to release the key, lubrication for tumblers should be in the form of graphite powder.

Tandy/Radio Shack will never be hip and they shouldn't try, the charm of the stores are the retro products and the feelings you get shopping there.
