shure ME91d housing separates from body

i noticed that the inner body of the cartridge would get pushed out the back of the housing when i inserted a stylus. i took the cartridge off today and i pushed the inner housing completely out.. there is a bunch of yellowish residue inside the housing. it looks like the stuff that builds up on your auto battery posts.

Can anyone tell me whats going on?

Having owned both at the same time, I have no problem saying that the M91ED is a superior product to the M97xE in just about all areas.

I have no idea why but I can say that the former is the V15 type 2 in a slightly different body and that it has a nude mounted elliptical stylus as opposed to the bonded elliptical on the M97xE.

What you are seeing is the adhesive breaking down. You can try to correct the problem by carefully adding the adhesive of your choice, or buying one of the many available M91s on Ebay.
