I bought a second hand Van Den Hul cartridge and experienced the same thing. The seller refunded my money and I sent it off to Van Den Hul for a rebuild.
I've snapped the cantilever off my Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood not once, but twice. I'll never buy another cartridge where the cantilever is that exposed.
