Thanks for the answers and thanks Tyler for that chemistry lesson. Glad to know it wasn't moisture which would have been a lot more troubling! 🙏

I recently removed the 400' spools on my XTR magazines to shoot 100' rolls. One of the two has copper oxidation on the screws as seen in the photo. Before I do anything to clean it off, I wanted to check and see if there is anything I should put on the screws to prevent further oxidation, with the obvious consideration that I wouldn't want any product to leach out and potentially interact with the film down the line. Thanks for any help!

Thanks Gregory and Dom, Dom, that is exactly what I was looking for! I know the chances of it showing up somewhere are probably somewhat low but I'll take a look. This particular one says Panavision on the side. Thanks again. If anyone should come across one, feel free to reach out.

I came into possession of an analog microforce v+f when I purchased my XTR Prod a few months back. The unit didn't come with the articulating arm or the rock n' roller to attach the microforce to a tripod arm and I'm not currently willing to spend $1500 for those parts on something I wouldn't be able to collect much on rentals for within my kit. The unit does have a small dovetail plate on it though which made me wonder if there is an alternative way that I can connect it but I haven't had much luck in figuring out what that part would be. I've attached a photo and if anyone has any thoughts or ideas to DIY a solution, I'd be incredibly grateful!
