Since I don't know the exact location or function of these parts, I can only take an educated guess, which would be to use grease since they're part of the film transport mechanism. Others here could probably give a more reliable opinion. But certainly you'd want to clean everything first before applying new lubricant.

And no, springs shouldn't lose tension even after 50 years, unless they've been stretched past their tensile limit, which doesn't appear to have happened here.
