Tech Help: Regatta cd 150 jukeboc

Hi, I just picked up a Regatta cd juke - my first Regatta experience.
I believe it is a 150 model. Question is, all starts to power up ok,
but when the cd pickup mechanism begins to move up and down, it goes
down like half way, then up, then down 2/3 way, then up finally
stopping and the display just says out of order.

Any tech tips with these as to what to look for? Like I said, these
things are a new breed to me. Is there a possible bad sensor/opto or
something like that to look for?

Thanks guys!

You would have to have some sort of sensor to tell how far it goes,
and it would activate every time it changes to a different cd, plus
ones for the bottom and probably top position. Check around for
these, and make sure they are clean, and no dry joints etc.

Second thing would be to make sure the thing isnt catching on
something on the way down that is making it stop.
