Thanks for the tip. Where does one get contact cleaner and is it
any more effective than alcohol?

Take off the keycaps and hose down the contacts with contact cleaner.
Failing that, use a solvent such as alcohol.
VT52 keyboard switches are gold contacts, not sealed, so they can get
dirty but they are highly tolerant of cleaners.
