Is it best to drill out the lock or is there a way to get a replacement key?  If I drill it out where do you get this type of lock?  Sorry I do not have a better picture, it is the round type of key.

Cool! so you got it huh? nice! so if it's just the original (Pepsi) ACE style lock(round key) then look on the face & see if there are any code no.'s if so, then a locksmith should be able to cut you a  new one, if not ( a generic or uncoded lock/core), if the door is open ( which I'm assuming it's not) you can pop the core out of the locking handle by depressing the brass plungers on the backside of the housing (inside, from the back of the main door) and really, the "Plug" for this one's pretty cheap on Ebay, or any vending machine suppliers outlet, it's usually just quicker & cheaper to drill the darn thing out & replace it...

Thanks guys.  I'll check for the lock code and see what we find.  
Johnie,
I ended up with the two machines and a bill changer for $150.  Here is a link to the post with pictures. New machines  :drinkers:

Here's an earlier thread concerning Jasmine's vendo 63.  Same type of lock configuration as yours.  I'm not sure if the link will start you at the beginning of the thread but the lock drilling info is on page 3.
