I have catured from 20 year old tape which has tape oxide dropouts.
Is there a video filter which does the equivalent of an anologue dropout compensator?
I have triedd the noise reduction filter which gives some results and chroma keying over a neutral background but the screensize for picking the key coulour is too small.

Your problem is that some scan lines are dropping out in the captured footage, right? If that's the case then there may be a workaround, but it won't involve MSPro directly. The possible workaround would involve deinterlacing the footage using a method different than is normally done in most editors.
The typical deinterlace is done by just dropping a field, but some programs, and most specifically the TMPGEnc MPEG encoder, have a wide selection of deinterlacing filters of varying types.
TMPGEnc is not freeware, but it does have a fully functional trial so you can give this a tryout;

16 delacing filters are to be found in the Settings/Advanced menu (doubleclick the word "Deinterlace") and the real upside is that you don't have to encode the footage to MPEG. If you check the File/Output to file menu you'll discover that TMPGEnc can export AVI's using any installed codec while still applying the effects in the Advanced menu. I use PICVideo's MJPeg as an output codec.
Many of these delacers will not drop a field but will blend them using various algorithms. Play a bit and you might get lucky
Once delaced with one of the multi-field deinterlacers if the quality is OK you can then just load the footage into MSPro and set its Media Source Options to "Frame" to use it in your project.
Worth a go IMO.....
