Default 94 Trans Am CD skips easily

I have a 94 TA with 25K mi, never smoked in, with the original factory CD
radio with the 7 band EQ. Being a 25th anniversary special edition, I want
to keep it all original. The radio and CD both play fine, except that the
CD skips whenever I hit a bump. I pulled the radio, pulled the CD module
out of it, and took it apart. I cleaned the lens and inspected the
mechanicals. Everything looks fine. I noticed when the control card was
out that there are no electrical adjustments on it at all. There is one
small pot on the sled (laser power?). Any ideas on what would make it skip
so easily?

I could be possible that your CD player pre-dates modern anti-skip
technology. I was never a fan of anything other than GM but the factory
radio goes before the new car smell does. The last time I bought a new
Chevy truck within a few hours the am/fm radio was out and a new
cassette head unit and CD changer with a 1200 watt amp was in.

Then a couple of years later I bought a new sports car and that had an
aftermarket CD changer and tape deck in the dash after a few hours.

Just because you want to keep it original doesn't mean you have to put
up with ****ty audio.
