Update

After continued spraying with light oils, penetrating oils, graphite w/ solvent products and contact cleaner type sprays over a several month time period it appears I have solved this for now.

For a few weeks now I have been able to insert the key and rotate the cylinder. I did a final cleaning (dousing) with contact cleaner to get out all the previous things sprayed in there. I bought some dry type teflon spray with a carrier solvent to do a final lubrication of the cylinder. After a couple of applications and continued testing I am feeling I have this solved.

With hurricane Dorian threatening FL over the past several weeks I decided it was wise to reassemble the dash so I could move the car if necessary. So all is back together and the key and the car is working fine, I just need to give it time now to build confidence that it is fixed.
