Corrosion of the head...
Does anyone know what this build-up is, and what type of oil or anything should be applied top clean this?
I saw a little bit of this in the dss522 when I opened it

Try with Sidol. Important is that there isn't oxide inside, near the coils, otherwise are pains.
Have you tried the head ? Is working ?

The coils have continuity. I have not been able to test it yet since there is no proper amplifier for it yet. I am thinking of getting two mono block amplifiers to drive each side.
It does not look so bad, I cleaned it up quite a bit. I do not believe it ad reached the coils, only near the armature.
If anyone has an ortofon head they are planning on using, I fully recommend opening it for a cleaning. It is a little imperative.
