Ignition cylinder help needed.

For some time now my 88 wouldn't start again once it got hot. I had assumed it was a spot on the starter, but the more I fiddled with the key in the cylinder to start the car, the more I believed it had to be something there. Someone here suggested that I check the voltage on the ignition switch the next time this happens to narrow down the issue. So today I took apart the center console to get to the wires, etc.
I had the car started 3-4 times today without issue. Now the key won't turn past the first position. It feels like there is something in there that's locking it up. Note that my reverse gear lock is none functional....So I wonder if part of that mechanism is now causing issue.
Are the parts/gear/etc. in there replaceable? Any idea where I can get that special tool to take out those triangle nuts??? Am I better off finding replacement parts or hitting the salvage yard? And I thought I'd go for a drive tomorrow... bummer.
