I suspect that the additional weight of the CDs causes the try to be misaligned at the other positions. There is little to no movement of the tray for disc 1.

I suspect that the additional weight of the CDs causes the try to be misaligned at the other positions. There is little to no movement of the tray for disc 1. _____   That's a thought. But really what is the weight to power ratio of the carousel mechanism for a few CDs? This Is why I keep buying up thes carousels at second hand thrift - so I can simply switch in a replacement when the other one goes.

Much can be learned.   Much can be faked by claiming the address of a legitimate business, as well. Around here, people were advertising enclosed trailers as being sold by existing businesses, but they didn't run the ads. I've reported one to the FBI for Wire Fraud, after contacting the FTC.

It can be set up for your area.   Sofar when several have recommended people for me I have never been let down. Just usually have to wait a while for many as they stay busy. Sometimes it is just a day or so, but the painter and concrete people were so far behind and the weather was not letting them work either, it took a few months for me to work my way up their list. Once they started, they were here on time weather permitting. Hard to paint outside in the rain...

I worked for three school systems, some factories and churches. I did the work on site, and only warehouse the supplies out of a couple rooms in my home. It twas all word of mouth, or in one case a customer of a former employer knew what neighborhood I lived in, so they sent their head of maintenance to look for my unmarked van. The irony was that when I left that job I told the owner that I would not try to take away any existing customers, but that I wouldn't turn down the work if they knocked on my door. That was the second largest school district in the area. They didn't like the quality of work or the attitude of whoever was hired to replace me. I couldn't find good help that I would take into a school, so I had no need to advertise. Most work was completed in one trip, unlike my largest competertor who had over 20 crews on the road, but avered a little over five visits to finish a job. Of course, they were billed for each visit to around $150 per trip. Quite often, they would tell a school board that a systyem was uunrepairable, since they were franchised for most of three states. I got the first school system away from them by picking up a couple pallets of 'unrepairable equipment' one Friday afternoon, and returning it all to the school board's building the following Monday morning. They had had some of the equipment for over a year, claiming that the parts were on backorder. I had repaired eveything that they couldn't, and they did over $1,000,000 a year in new sales in the '70s. A well marked building, highly advertised B2B who were well past their prime. It was supposedly managed by a pair of EEs who weren't smart enough to add a pair of amplifiers to the existig intercom system. It was severly distorted when they turned on the new equipment. The idiots had paralled two new Dukane Amplifiers with the existing RCA, but they weren't smart enough to realize the Dukane amps were 180 degrees out of phase from the existing RCA amps. Rather than find out what was wrong, they simple cut the spaker wires off the mew amps and left them powered up.

I've had idiots drive over their inline 1/4" plugs and jacks while mated. The only damages was a few scratches on the body. I still have a few NOS WWII surplus telephone switchboard plugs that were made from unplated brass These saw heavy use in telephone service and on military radios without failures. If left unused for a long time, you had to use metal polish to remove the oxide, but daily use prevented any buildup.   https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/switchcraft-inc/280F/7672094 has a flexible strain relief, instead of just a clamp like the one to OP listed.
