clean the gears/rail and put some new crease on the metal top base where the laser runs on

That's a good suggestion which I will do.
But apparently what was going on with the 919 is that the skipback was happening in the first 10-15 seconds of side B and then would also happen at certain points afterwards, seemingly without rhyme or reason. But I saw a pattern in that this skipback happened at the same points on the disc always, within a second or two. After some close inspection, I noticed that the small bent, u-shaped tension flange that presses against the laser assembly worm gear looked to be off a bit, or tweaked. I confirmed this by observing the same piece on a working 909. So I took it off to see the 919 operation without it. I also noticed that the worm gear itself seemed to have a few slightly worn spots where the gear edge seemed to be a tiny bit rounded as compared to the normal edge at other spots.
So putting the player back into operation without the tension flange revealed no more skipback. However the places where there was skipback before now exhibited either a fraction of a second of blanked picture, or a wavy image, or sometimes even a momentary speedup then return to normal. I can only think that the slightly rounded edges of the worm gear are somehow responsible, and that this edge rounding happened because of binding caused by the tension flange, causing skipback, and then the worm gear rubbing against the toothed gear while stuck and whenever the scan forward was used to get out of the skipback lock.
As it is right now without the tension flange, it's working pretty well, more or less. Obviously, replacement of the gearing on the laser assembly will be best at some point, but I'm sure glad it was not a problem with electronics, for there I am lost. Mechanics I can handle.

I know a few years back I changed a Driver IC for the Slider motor that caused this problem, pretty rare though. Usually its the GearHolder, Im sure someone PM'd you on this by now..

But it's actually working pretty well right now and I have the DVL parts player for when I get around to replacing the gearing. That's good, and good you have a backup parts player , sounds like the DVL- will make it through the Holiday movie list just fine.. Sounds like you know your way around the mechanism pretty good, as Im the one that sent your customer a part for his dvl-700 a while back at no charge.

You did do the right thing by looking at the track first As I repaired a DVL- 919 for a fellow, it was a piece of her sewing thread wound around the worm gear on the optics slider motor on the RH side... Don't ask how it got there
