Long shot … on older cd players the lubricant on the guide rails can dry and harden up in spots making it difficult for the laser sled to pass easily/normally over that spot (hardened spot) on the guide rail
It causes the sled to stall momentarily at that spot and lose lock with the data stream on the disc … thus causing the skipping … when the sled drives past the hardened lubricant spot it moves normally and regains lock with the CD and normal playing continues
you notice that every disc skips at the same spot … cleaning and lubricating the guide rails should correct the problem
Don't jump out of the basement window just yet
