Quadra 950 Key barrel

I have a Quadra 950 (formerly @joshc’s) which has no key, but I also have a key from another machine (I think it was a Q900 or possibly an ANS700).

Now of course the key doesn’t work in the Quadra. It fits but it doesn’t turn.

I’ve had a look at the barrel and I can’t see any way to open it to remove or adjust the pins.. is there any way to do this?

Remove it and take it to a locksmith? They may be able to re-key it.
(the service source shows the barrel removed in an exploded view, but doesn't explain how!)
I know it may not be the ultra-low budget route we usually take here, but sometimes the neighborhood shop will surprise you.

Those locks are cheap, and probably difficult to re-key.

The lock should have a tag consisting of 3 numbers on the cord, this is the key number, it can in theory be used to make a new key.
