Larry Finch was kind enough to walk me through the paper clip trick, unfortunately, it was to no Avail!

Hi folks,
Recently I remember a post about ignition tumblers, and that they were
difficult to find.
"Ha!" I thought, "At least I don't have that problem with my car!"
Oops. Today my key decided to only go into the ignition switch halfway. It
will not go in any further, even after squirting half a can of Houdini in
it. I was fortunate that I could wiggle the key around enough to get it to
work so I could get home this afternoon, but once home, I could jiggle
myself to death and that key will not go in.
I talked to a couple of vendors, and neither has any for sale, and
apparently, they are no longer made.
Before I bypass the ignition switch entirely and mount a giant light switch
on my dash to start the car, does anyone have one they would be willing to
sell to me, or know where I might find one?
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Chris
