46-1209 Magnetic pickup - Bones007 - 05-12-2012

Hi all Just restored the radio , it plays great,... now on to the phono, Rider's says it is a magnetic pickup... can this one be rebuilt like how Syl does elsewhere on this site , or would it have to be sent in ?
Thanks:

Is it the same type as my 48-1270. Its magnetic and was dead when I got the unit. I unsoldered the pickup head two wires black and red. And resoldered them and now it plays perfectly just dumb luck or a good connection , heat ? . Who knows give it a try

does it produce any sound at all. if it has a J shaped needle and it is bent up too high it will produce no sound. Mine was like this. I bent it down a little by pinching it between two fingers and now it plays great I was wrong about the soldering. I realized this later on .
