CDM 2 transport problem with spinning certain CDs

I'm slightly puzzled that some factory cd's seem to be rubbing on something while playing. They have to differ in thickness slightly and it affects the playback with a " ticking " mechanical sound. Anybody encountered this problem? I don't want to poke blindly with my fat fingers and break the machine.
 
Solved ...Meh..., I feel like a fool now. The machine was NOS and had a mechanism securing screw underneath. Not sure what the screw supposed to do since most of the CD's were playing fine and only few didn't but removing the screw solved all the problems.
