My SL-P7, about 9 months old, will skip if I pick it up and shake it.
When I first bought it it wouldn't skip no matter how hard I shook it,
so I suspect that the servo adjustments drift with time.  Since it plays
just fine in normal use this is just a curiosity, but if I do encounter a
problem later I'll probably just follow the service manual instructions and
readjust the servos.

This points out something I said a while ago. Forget about the electronics
in the CD players, they're practically identical. It's the mechanical stuff
that's always the weakest link.
