Can you spot that CD transport (laser skipping problem)

What does it say on the pickup. It's definitely not a CDM 12 or any variation of 🙂
Might be a DVD based mech (going off what looks a rather wide ribbon connector)

The turntable looks more like for CD... DVD drives have rubber base to grip disk for fast acceleration/deceleration.

Most skipping problems are caused by the sled not moving freely.
Motors, spindle and sled can play up. It can be worth (after disconnecting them) applying a 9 volt battery to burn any rubbish of the commutator. You would have to remove the gears to do that or the teeth will be damaged.
