I think you're all reading a bit much into this. He said he could push the ring down, but it wouldn't stay. It is more than likely the pickup ring mounting holes in the body are stripped.

Okta, can you freely turn the screws in the pickup ring, without them seeming to bite? If so, break off a piece of toothpick in the holes, and then screw the ring back down.
