First thing I would do before taking anything apart is squirt some Houdini lock lubricant in the switch.
I had the same type of problem and the lube loosened everything up.

I didn't come close to addressing this problem nor adding relays before
Friday's event as was the plan.
But I did realize, once I get the key past accessory to ignition,
sometimes using a small crescent wrench now, it easily goes back and
forth from ignition to accessory and back again. Only going back to
lock restarts the sequence of near impossible to get from accessory to
ignition.
Not going to solve this problem on-line, but wonder if this proves
anything, electrical switch vs. mechanical tumbler thing.
Thanks,
GD

In the where ?!?!
Anyway, for a while now my ignition key moves easily from lock to
accessory, but is very difficult to move to ignition, then easy to
move
to start. I mean, vice grips difficult to move from accessory to
ignition.
But very occasionally moves easily.
Planning to re-route the current around the switch with relays, but
thinking now the switch itself may be already damaged.
Is this a common symptom?
Thanks,
GD

My friend in New Zealand needs an ignition switch for his 1974

The Pantera ignition switch is lifted directly from period European
Fords (Escort, '71-'73 Capri etc.) which are comparatively rare in
the
US, but were and are common in the antipodes.
There should be plenty of sources of parts for those cars there,
including the ignition switch. They cost a fortune from Pantera
sources....
