I was very bummed back then about it. I suggest take it apart and review the upper pin integrity.
The body on these was dimensionally the same, you could purchase a later circlip body (whole unit will be cheapest) with a CPSC lip cage and transfer the earlier cage and be in business.
Performance will improve.
