[DML] Key stopped turning in door! Ideas?

["gzapf" <x86Daddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an early VIN car that has the later door locks that match my
ignition.  When I purchased the car, the passenger side lock would not
turn with the key in it (but the key does insert all the way). 
Suddenly, my driver side door lock won't turn by the key anymore
either.  I've taken off the upper panel to look at the inside, and
nothing is odd looking: the white part that hooks to the locking rod
seems in place...  I can push and pull the rod manually to lock and
unlock the door, and the interior switch still works...  but the key
won't move the center, metallic portion of the door lock more than a
few degrees.

Has anyone had this happen before?  Any ideas on how to fix it or
troubleshoot it?

Thanks,
--Greg
