hi everyone
I recently got a cd51 from a film set sale, and it *does* (sort of)
work.
did a full initialize (even though not every slot is full, figured that
would be better than doing individual initialize). anyway the issue is:
only one or two of the (around 40) cds will even play, and then the cd
player will play the song but the cd player skips and makes the song all
distorted (brand new cds so I know it's not cds that are scratched up)
the ccc has on the 5v light but doesn't have any lights that seem "bad"
UNTIL the cd player starts skipping all over the place, then the system
error lights up on the ccc and the error light lights up on the cd
player control computer as well.
im scared that if I keep trying to fix it, I will screw it up worse!
im not an electrical whiz so plain English would be helpful here
my well-meaning mother thought she would call a tech to show her how to
run the maching, but I wasn't there when he came out, and so his service
call was totally useless, and he is super unreliable (called him a week
ago to no avail). even just me tinkering with it has been because of
lurking on these forums...
so on another note, if anyone knows a new Orleans person who could come
out to my home on a service call that;d be helpful!
thanks in advance

You may have multiple issues involved, but to start with, you need to order a manual for your jukebox so that you can learn how to pull up your error codes, and what they mean. From your description, I'd suspect a dirty CD lens in conjunction with either a faulty mech control board or faulty CCC. Could even be a failing power supply. Get the manual first. Then clean the lens and pull up your error codes. Do not attempt to clean the lens without taking proper static control measures as covered in the manual. Otherwise you can easily destroy the player or shorten its life.
