Are your primers really seated to full depth in the primer pocket? You might splurge for a box or 2 of factory to see what happens. If misfires continue, you might also want to consider changing recoil springs to make sure the slide is fully in battery along with hammer/mainsprings.
Soaking an entire slide assembly in a solvent really isn't that great an idea. If your problem is caused by petrified combustion products slowing the firing pin, it may get the stuff soft enough to function normally, but that really isn't solving the problem. After 30 odd years, a detail strip for cleaning and lubrication would have been a good idea prior to firing. Still not too late to do so.
If you do the detail strip, PLEASE do one gun at a time. Should you be reduced to showing up at the local gunsmith shop with a bag of parts, it's really, really appreciated if you have all the correct parts.
