John,

Thanks. *Actually, I think the previous owner may have already used the

semi-fossilized covering of what appears to be a vaseline/dirt mixture. *I

Well, if nobody else chimes in, I guess I dig in and hope for the best!
I'll certainly post again with results.

DG does sell a valve rebuild kit, which, as I remember, consists of a
replacement spring, O-ring, and a few other random parts. This did
the job when one of my DG-600 valves started leaking. I didn't do it
myself, so I can't help you there, and you'll likely have to pay the
DG tax to get hold of the kit...
