It took my son and I about an hour to pick the original lock.

I agree, do not restore it to brand new. Best part of these machines is to show their age. Rick B

Thanks to everyone for the feedback! The plan is to leave the machine in its current state including the gumballs( sorry rtmccurdy) with only a light cleaning and lubrication.
