I just got a very expensive pair of binoculars out of storage and the rubber exterior has a cheap pills online without prescription lot of oxidation. What can I use to effectively clean it and renovate the material? Would moisturizing lotion work? What about something like WD40, or Armor-All? Thanks.

Armor-All might work. Does warm soapy water or alcohol swaps.
I would use a cleaner then a protector if the rubber is not cracked up.
cam2cam any guys?

This ring is made from sterling silver wire that I twisted myself. The twisting makes a beautiful texture with oxidation in the crevices to make it even more dimensional. Wear it alone, it is dainty and pretty. Stack it with two or three others. Try it out with my skinny stacking set: Let me know your size in the “note to seller” at checkout. If you’re not sure of your size, give this printable ring sizer a try. I find it to be very reliable when used correctly. See the rest of my shop at http://tinahdee.etsy.com

I have never attended a professional basketball game, so I do not know exactly what distances are involved. But I do know that you will want a pair with a wide field of view so you can see everything going on on the court. Do you wear glasses? Some binoculars are better suited to those who wear glasses than others. From a photo of the stadium, it does not appear that you could possibly be more than about 70 to 80 yards from the furthest action. A compact pair would be easier to carry around. They do not prove satisfactory though for people wearing eye-glasses. You have to take your glasses off to use them. Very inconvenient. At 100 yards an 8 power pair will provide a field of view of about 30 to 35 feet. That will allow you to see almost 1/2 court–not quite but almost. If you were 80 yards away then the participants would appear to be 10 yards away about. That might be too much power for a basketball game. I do not believe that compact binoculars come in 6 power, but I do think that would be a better choice in this particular case. Leopold makes a pair of 6×30 binoculars that has a very wide field of view. You would be able to see a 42 foot field of view at 100 yards. 6 power would make those 80 yards away appear 14 yards away. They are suitable fore eye glass wearers too. Here is a link
I think this pair would be the ones I would choose for this particular application or ones like them. I suspect you can find a similar pair in a discount store for maybe $35 but check the field of view. It is very important. 6×30 generally have a very wide field of view.
Here is a compact pair that is about similar

Depending on how exact you need to be, you could use your nose.
Rancidity and oxidation in oils are just two names for the same thing.
If you need to be more exact than smelling, then the color change that happens when oils go rancid might be an option. You'd need a spectrophotometer to get scientific readings of the color though.
The third option would be to measure the products of oxidation using gas chromatograph/mass spectrometry. I don't know what sort of equipment you have access to.
Good luck.
