CD player won't play track 1

[Smith]

I have a Fisher "Studio Standard" home sound system with a tuner, amp,
mixer, double casette deck, and CD player -- all as separate modules.
Everything functions except the CD player (Model AD913), and it does ok
except it rarely will play track 1. It generally reads all other tracks
fine, but sometimes stalls on those too. A cleaning CD doesn't fix the
problem. Took the cabinet top off and the optical sensor (or whatever it's
called) moves incrementally each time the track selector button is pushed,
so it appears it is positioning as it should. I'm a ham and willing to
tackle technical suggestions. Thanks.

Check the lubrication and sled motor. See the CD repair guide for more info.

It's possible the CD spin motor is weak... track 1 needs the highest speed.
Does it take long to 'spin up'?
