I don’t have any experience with these helium neon based players but here is something to consider..

Does the issue always occur at the same exact time (CLV) or frame (CAV) point of the discs you are playing? If it does, maybe there is something obstructing the movement of the pick-up assembly. I would consider unplugging the machine and gently push the pick up assembly with your hand to see if it starts to bind up at certain points along the way. If it does, check for dried up grease and even see about opening the player from below to see if any wires are getting in the path of travel.

If the issue occurs at all random points on the disc (it doesn’t appear you have indicated that), it possible there is an alignment issue That can be anything along the path of the laser as it travels through prisms and mirrors. It might simply be a bad laser tube that maybe shuts down after so many minutes being on.

Yes, the plastic gear under that assembly. That entire assembly should be held on with just a couple of screws. It does not connect to the slider itself. Once the assembly is off, the gear is held on with a C clip.

The gear is in direct contact with the slider assembly and should be spring loaded. Simply trying to spin it won't work. You can pull assembly back from the slider and then see if it rotates smooth and freely. If it wiggles back and forth or doesn't seem round in it's rotation, that is indeed your problem.

It's the little black disc. It has a slit in it and you can just pop it off with a pair of tweezers.
