Correct, which is why music CDs start out at circa 500rpm and gradually drop down to circa 200rpm during play (i.e. the whirr).

Yes, you are right - inside to outside, sorry.
chassis crack = crack in white plastic sled rail. Common issue on kss-213 as I highlighted in your original post - even a few years from new (back when I was a repair tech) it cropped up sometimes.
If you haven’t already, put a drop of oil into the disc spin motor - motor drying out is also a common problem.
well done on fixing it
Personally, I’d still burn £11 on a spare non-original mech, at least then you know in another 20 years you can fix it again…lord alone knows what they’ll cost in another 20 years…

Re:trophile
Constant linear velocity too, with Red Book Compact Disc standard, Philips specified 1.2 to 1.4m/sec (yes, metres per sec) hence the high 500rpm at start of disc gradually slowing to circa 200 near end ('circa', as the end point varies depending upon length of programme).
According to Wikipedia, the CD standard allows up to 79.57 minutes of digital audio on one disc, or 99 tracks maximum (whichever comes first).
A good test in order to determine whether or not a given player is exhibiting excessive spin motor noise is to play the last track first with the volume turned fully down, should be pretty quiet once play begins.
