VRDS CMK-3 close but no cigar

I already saw myself splurging on cars and women after "fixing " the player but damn clamp motor keep stalling or the bearings are seizing. I gave it a squirt of alcohol and applied a drop of synthetic oil to upper and lower bushings and it worked fine for a day and stalled. Once I give it a gentle push it works fine for some time but inevitably stops. I dont have much experience with those drivers and lubrication. Don't want to mess it up with an experimental treatment. The player was not played since 2005. Any proven solution to the problem ?

Alright , fixed it. You need to watch for wear on plastic top cap. It controls the gap between the coils and rotor. In my instance I just turned it upside down. Now it spins like a charm and is noiseless. When you know this it's a few minutes fix , if not ....
