First, clean out any crud from the laser head assembly. If that
doesn't improve things, replace it. That's a 1997 vintage machine so
parts may be tricky to find... Oh, too easy:

However, I don't think it's worth $50 to fix something that old.

Thanks for the links, I'll probably order a new laser head for it, but
first I'll lake it apart and clean the lenses.

KSS240A lasers should be available from many sources for much less than $50.
This is a very 'bog-standard' laser made by Sony, and used in many
manufacturers' products over the years, as well as their own. Try to make
sure if you get one from a cheaper source, that it is a genuine Sony one
though. Of all of the KSS series replacement lasers, I've found the '240 to
be probably the most critical, when used in most manufacturers' machines.
