"I've picked up an old Yamaha CD-3 with PCM53 to play with.  It's exhibiting a strange problem - it reads the TOC fine, but then struggles to lock on to the data when you play the disc.  It may mute or simply skip (like pressing the FF) into the first minute or so and then lock on.  After that, no skipping.  If you jump back to the beginning of the disc it will even play what had previously troubled it with no problems.  As soon as you open and close the tray, the problem comes back even if it's the same disc.\n\nSeems strange because once locked on it tracks well, it just takes a while to stabilize every time the tray is opened.  I can't see any mechanical problems with the mechanism.  What do you guys think?"
