Need help fixing broken/missing on-off switch + key

[maguffin]

We recently bought a house that has a Pachinko machine built into the wall in the basement. Unfortunately the on-off switch has been broken off and is missing. Also, we can't seem to find a key to open the cabinet from the front (although we can access the wiring in the back easily).

Does anyone know where I could find a new switch to fit this machine? I tried looking in a big box hardware store but they didn't have one the right size.

Also, I'm hoping the keys for these machines are somewhat a generic one-size-fits-all thing. Does anyone know where I could find or buy a replacement?

Below are some photos of our machine. I'm grateful for any advice or tips anyone can offer.

Thanks a bunch!

there should be a latch in the back to open just the glass or swing out the whole machine

It is not a machine part, it was added by whomever put it in the cabinet. I would check a local electronic store...radio shack may have a similar one.
Disconnect and remove it, so you can take it along for sizing.

Keys for vintage pachinko machines are rare as hens teeth. They just never came with the machines from Japan. If you remove the lock, a locksmith may be able to cut you a key or de-pin the lock. As for the switch, that looks like a custom job. I would try radioshack, it looks like it switches house current before it does to the trasformer, so make sure you get one that is up to the job of household current. As always when dealing with household electricity, use caution and turn it off at the breaker.

Thanks everyone! Turns out we can open the machine from the back easily so the lock is not an issue. Also, I'll talk to an electrician about wiring up an on-off switch. Thanks for all the helpful comments.
