So I have a CD50 that plays perfectly, but the tray seems to jam between the open/close process and the raising of the CD spindle process. I have opened it and replaced the belt an added some lithium grease to the gears. I also swapped out the largest gear, which was worn at the point where the indexing pin moves in and out (I have a few used parts from another broken unit). I have had it disassembled and reassembled, and the gears still catch and stick at the same transition point. If I help the gears through that specific point with my finger everything works as expected.
My question is this: shy of removing, cleaning, and reinstalling all of the gears, is there another way to diagnose this problem? Would a slipping belt cause this problem? If not, something else?

I don’t have the solution, but remembered this video

Yeah, thank you for posting.
I like Vince's videos a lot - I used that combined with the service manual to find my way around the inside of the player.
There are no visible problems, so I'm guessing at this point that either:
- There's too much friction, possibly from old grease.
- There is a small site on one of the gears where there is wear, causing that 'catch' I'm experiencing.
