Unfortunately, when I had my keys made for the 4700, I took the lock out of a broken 1071 to the locksmith. I originally showed them photos of an actual key and they looked at me like I was crazy. I could only find two locksmiths near me for the 4700 and a Valhalla 2724A. Both wanted a lock before they would try to brute force a new key. It appears that the locks are different with the Wavetek gear.
I have already sent a message to the seller of the 1271 and I hope to hear something soon. If not, I will desolder the wires and remove the lock and carry it to one of the locksmiths. At least they only charged me $10 for the time and two keys for my Valhalla.
