Any skipping issues with the Koala tube CD player?

Billion thanks go to Davehrab.
WHITE LITHIUM GREASE!!!! Solved the problem. CDP is no longer skipping. Played 3 CDs from start to end; no skipping at all.

Here is the recipe:
I purchased white lithium grease for $5.49 at my local AutoZone. First cleaned the rail on which the laser-head is moving back-and-forth using pure isopropanol. I then applied a very conservative amount of that grease onto that metallic rail. Before connecting the CDP to the amplifier, I inserted a CD into the CDP and silently and quickly went through all the tracks, from the first to the lack track, several times. This ensured that the laser-head did travel through, almost, the entire length of that metallic rail and homogenized the white lithium grease I applied. Then connected the CDP to the amp, and enjoyed 3 of my favorite CDs very much without that quite annoying skipping which bugged me since a very long time.
Thanks again Davehrab!!!

Awesome news, Actas I suggest never listening to my posts ever again...ha ha!

OUTSTANDING ...

I have recommended this fix for a number of skipping CD players on various boards with great success for those who have tried it

This skipping problem usually occurs in much older players when the factory Lube eventually dries up on the rail and causes the laser sled to stall and lose lock with the data stream

I suspect the tube in your CD player is generating some extra heat under the cover and causing the Lube on the rail to premature dry up

Now you can sit back and enjoy your music
