Hi Lonny,

I have a bag of 25 different barrel keys. Only once did 1 key from the bag open 1 lock for me out of about 25 different locks I've tried, so I'm batting 4%.

Just drill it out and put in a new lock and key.  You likely won't find a key that will work.

Since it's detached from the machine you could run it by your local locksmith & have them pick it & then cut you a set of keys, I've done this myself.

Johnie makes a good point, but my lock guy charges $15-20 for the pick and first key, and $3 for the second key. Still cheaper to buy a new lock/key.  $8 at home depot.

Agreed as I had locks done on two machines and i got charged $30 each. Have been replacing them myself since.

An original lock is well worth the trouble. You can call around for a price from local locksmiths.
