Have you thought of popping off each individual keycap and spraying
contact cleaner in there? Contact cleaner can be gotten at Radio
"Scrap". While you're at it, spray the entire keyboard, underneath it,
between the switches and PC Board, etc. to remove all the "dust
bunnies" that have accumulated there in the 25+ years of Apple life.
