CD player skips

I picked up an el cheapo Sony cd player for $5 from Salvation Army to use in my cellar system. It plays but skips if you just tap it a little.

Can I fix this? Is it just something that is loose inside?
I opened it up but don't know what to look for.
 
I've experienced that problem on a couple of early inexpensive Sony CDPs. Someone walking by could cause the units to skip. Better isolation seemed to help, so I just assumed it was a problem with the design.

try cleaning the eye also if this has a 2 rods where the eye module runs on lube it up..not going to say this is the problem
but most CDplayers that are thought to be knackerd...but this is a common problem with CDplayers....lack of maintance..try it you have nothing to lose,also while you have it open lube up the sliding door.....hope this helps....I have done countless CDplayers with problem.....
 
I've had this problem with older cd players, which can sometimes be remedied by tilting the player so the front is slightly higher than the back. Usually a few decks of cards do the trick.
