    Hi,
    I have a problem with my Sony F20 CD player, skipping discs or songs. I contacted Sony and they don't repair anything that old, so I am seeking recommendations of someone who repairs these, please.

    It's worth a try to clean the lens on the laser head. You can purchase a laser lens cleaner disc at Best Buy or some other electronics shop. It worked for me on a few home players.

    Hi, thanks for the replies, I will see if I can find the lens cleaner disc first.
    BTW, it is the CD player that came in the 550 model with the Sony Radio.

    I tried the CD cleaner disc today and it made a major improvement. It isn't perfect yet, still stopped at the middle of the 9th track, but that is much further than it had gone before. Will try it again in a couple of days.
    thanks for the help.
