Just curious as to how this would work without removing or disassembling the Electrolock? The key feature of the Electrolock over a standard key switch is that the points lead also shorts to ground when off, it does not just get disconnected from the coil. If you bypass the coil to the points there will be a dead short with the Electrolock.
