PS Audio Lambda transport making a 'tick tick tick' sound when playing CDs


I’ve got an older PS Audio Lambda transport that developed a “ticking” sound the other night.  It started out really subtle, very minor ‘tick tick tick’ type of sound along with the music that grew a little louder as the track progressed.  It was a fairly long CD at ~78 minutes – I know some of these older transports don’t like the longer discs.  I tried a different transport and it wasn't there, so it wasn't on the source disc.

Any idea what that might be, and if it’s fixable?  I really like this transport because the digital display is much larger than most and it’s easy to read from across the room.  Who still works on these types of units?

Sounds like the the cd is skipping due to the players inability to properly play a much longer disk.
