This is a picture of the E9th changer on my Emmons LeGrande. Never paid much attention to it before. I'm having some tuning issues and now I noticed that some of the fingers are popped out--they're not uniform like on the C6th neck. I've played for years and never had this happen. It's probably a simple solution, but I'm lost.

Your 5th string lower finger is partly engaged. Since you don't lower your B, you could add tension to the return spring

| It appears as though the lower scissors are going under the stop plate requiring you to remove the return springs and either tighten down or re-bend the stop plate. |

What Jim said or either that string is over tuned. Try backing off nylon tuner and see if changer returns to normal. If it does, retune your string open and then tune pull.
I also had a LeGrand that had worn a groove in changer stop plate that caused same problem.

What Jim said happened on my 73 Emmons......
Also looks like it could use a very well needed cleaning as I'm about to do with my Pro III and will probably swap my E9/c6th changers as long as I'm going that far with it. |

| I had the same problem on my Lashley Legrande on my C6 changer from grooving. I had to push the fingers back with a small screwdriver every time I changed strings. It was a PITA. I had Dave Robbins replace both stop plates on both necks. No more problems. |
