I was given my grandpa's camera that he purchsed new in 1950. It is a Standard Speedex and I believe it uses 120mm film. I would love to clean this camera up and use it. What methods, chemicals, tools, etc. could you recommend for me to clean this up. Likewise, what could you tell me to not do when cleaning this up. The camera has some mildew on the case and the "baffle thing" is a little brittle.

Thanks
