Here is a picture of an ignition switch lock cylinder and key.
With the key inserted everything is flush with the lock cylinder so it =
will turn.
Pins or wafers are spring loaded, they can be removed and moved on the =
cylinder to make a key work.

The other lock cylinders are similar and can be removed for inspection.

"Can anyone recommend a topnotch Sunbeam lock and key person?"
Sunbeam specific..., likely they are all under the soil in the mother =
country by now. However there are probably a craftsmen or two out there =
- somewhere. Hopefully some knows.
While some may consider this barbaric I have done the following out of =
necessity. Locks typically have either pins or wafers.
Pins: I will insert the key and play around with the pins until I find =
those that come flush with the rotating tumbler. Sometimes pins can be =
doubled up to meet that height. Other times I have filed pins to meet =
that height. Generally there are also non-rotating, opposing pins in =
the housing. Any tumbler pin that doesn't come flush I leave it and its =
opposing pin out. While this lessens the strength of the lock to =
rotation it still offers a degree of a locking effect (better than =
nothing).
Wafers: I find them easier. I will juggle them around so that with the =
key inserted there is the least degree of wafer height outside the =
tumbler. Then whatever remains outside the tumbler circumference I file =
off. Again, this lessens the strength of the lock to rotation but still =
offers a degree of a locking effect.
So, if all else fails.., this is at least a functional option and given =
that historically locking was not a primary consideration you would gain =
something even if not full strength. The free spinning lock seems like =
it has no pins or wafers. The key that jams I'm not sure if you mean on =
insertion, or once inserted it wouldn't rotate. That could be =
corrosion/dirt or just the wrong key for the pin/wafer configuration.
