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?

Are you talking about the Shure M91ED, as in the first aftermarket cartridge I
bought in 1974--the popular cartridge in the era of Advent, JBL, Garrard, and
Pioneer, Marantz, and Kenwood receivers?

Do you think you could scrape up href=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?
O=&sku=205325&gclid=COXvze-
xgsICFRNlfgod1VYAHg&Q=&is=REG&A=details>$69.99 for the much
improved in-production equivalent Shure M97xE?

Or are you just messing with us?
There's a good chance that that yellow goo is either damping or bonding
that has disintegrated over the decades.
