<02> ignition switch

The ignition switch on my '74 2002 (manual trans.) will no longer turn 
to the "start" position.  Whatever it is that keeps you from re-engaging 
the starter without first turning the switch back to "off" appears to be 
permanently blocking the start position.  I have several questions:

(1)  How do you remove the ignition switch?  I have removed the covering 
from beneath the switch and was surprised to see that it is housed in a 
sizeable piece of metal that also helps support the steering column.  
(2)  Once removed, is there any hope that a good local locksmith can fix 
the problem?  (3)  If replacement is my only option, does anyone have a 
used switch that they would be willing to sell?    (4)  Finally, is 
using a remote starter a viable alternative?

As usual, thanks for any suggestions.
