I have a Welta Welti camera which has just two problems: The most serious is that the sprocket wheel (that engages the holes in 35mm film) has become horribly corroded. It seems to be made of a different metal to the rest of the camera, which may have caused some electrochemical effect. It is covered in a thick white crystalline corrosion. The other problem is green mold in the viewfinder. I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to clean this up, or if necessary, where to obtain a replacement sprocket wheel.
