I have a fairly old, long unused Sony CDP-790n CD player; when attempting to play CDs, it "jumps" back at various points - e.g. going from 10 minutes 22 seconds to 10 minutes 23 seconds and then back to 10 minutes 22 seconds again, after doing this a few times it moves on, only to do the same sort of thing later on.
I have opened up the case and can see no obvious reason. I had considered working the mechanism back and forth a few times to make sure that it was moving freely, putting some light machine oil on the shaft and cleaning the laser lens with IPA and a cotton bud but would rather not make things worse than they already are.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might try? It is quite a handy spare CD player and I would rather not consign it to the skip.
Thanks
