I have a collection of 50 to 60 year old Kodak 8mm films which appear to be in good condition - no mold or dirt or dust on the outside. I also have a Mansfield Model 950 8mm editor/splicer. Editor also appears to be in good shape. My question is this
Before I start to view and splice to edit these reels, what do I need to do to the film and/or the editor. Are there parts to be lubed or vacuumed or cleaned?
Do I need to clean the film with some sort of solution? Wipe with a clean cloth?
Any help appreciated.
