How go get key out of woschester boiler

The Waschester is an interesting device. Made in 1970 it was ahead of
its time and incorporated features taken from the Hoover Keymatic.
Inserting the correct key set it to wash socks, underwear or small
dogs as well as providing luke warm water to the radiators. The key
used for programming was prone to insertion errors and to remove it
when stuck you opened the frogseiner, inserted a wollycobler and
twisted the grubteir until it clicked. If that failed you wellied it
with a Birmingham Screwdriver.

On mine you push the key upwards, then half a turn anti clockwise and
pull it out. A bit stiff as I recall.

And why did doing that make you 'a bit stiff'?

doesn't take much
