To be honest it sounds like it needs a new cd 'mech'. In theory this should not be all that difficult or expensive to fix but these days 'mechs' can be hard to come by and a lot of service centres charge serious money.
The new Nad player costs £249 in the UK, you could easily spend half, or more than that on a repair perhaps not a good idea.
If you are happy to have another brand, Richer Sound have a choice of models around £150.

So in your opinion it's not the lens?
Deffo wouldnt be interested in spending much on a repair as the player only cost me £60.....
Must admit i do like to go second hand to get more bang for my buck but maybe not such a great idea with cd players

More than likely just a failed laser, your CD player uses one of the most common laser's. Just buy one of eBay, item number 251380468072, it will take you about 20 mins to fit and away you go for £4.20 (If you want to make life slightly easier you can buy the laser with motors etc for £10ish).
