I have access to a 16mm film reel with sound of an RCA

destroying it, and what's the best way to preserve what's left?
There are professionals who know what they are doing with film
restoration, such as nilesfilmmuseum.org, monaco labs, etc
If you don't mind risking total loss of the original, could try cleaning
it with TCE, etc. If you want to play with it yourself, I've got a reel
to reel film developing tank.
