Repair suspension on B+O MMC2?

I finally got the adapter to use the B+O on standard mount,it sounded very good first try,next morning poor,distorted.The suspension looks damaged as the cantilever leans toward the inside of platter when on record,looks straight at rest.I see an outfit Modular ele repairs for $150.,soundsmith is $295.I might go the $150.Any advise?

In addition to Acman's reference to Axel Schurholz repair
service I can mention that Axel was (German) importeur of
the B&O brand and still has some parts in his stock. He
also does repair all B&O carts.

Thanks for all the advise.I'm not sure what I'm doing yet,mostly because I never really heard it properly.I'm leaning toward a new Audio technica at440mla for $200.and the stylus will fit my Signet AM50 which needs one .

MMC2 is a great cartridge when properly working. Dare I say it is superior to the AT440MLA. Since you already own the MMC2, the notion that you can renew it for the cost of a new ruby cantilever and LC stylus at SoundSmith ($250 for the basic version) should be tempting.

But it's your cartridge, your money, your choice.
