The repair for the Fisher 24 CD Juke Box is a lot more difficult and thus
more expensive to fix than for your Yahama 3 disc changer. Not only is it
a different part (than with your Yamaha) but to get to it in the Fisher is a
big teardown and reassembly job.
The problem is not a slip-clutch/grease problem but rather a gear that has a
piece that has broken off and therefore will not engage to load the disc
into the spindle/laser assembly.... very common problem with this design....
also was marketed under Radio Shacks Optimus brand. Otherwise this is a
fairly reliable mechanism. The repair price of $100 or MORE sounds
completely correct.

If there are any unanticipated problems the repair price of $100 will be
exceeded.

I don't know if we're talking about similar players here but my Yamaha 3
disc changer recently broke (door problem) and I was able to fix it
myself.
The cd door is supposed to sit in a groove so the the cogs can drive it in
and out. However in mine it sat not in the correct groove but an adjacent
unused one. Hence "MECH " on the display.
I eventually got it out and re-placed the door and now it works fine. You
would need a decent set of small and medium screw drivers.
At a guess it would be a 1-2 hour job for a professional ( Me - 5 nights).
Hard to know if your problem is similar of course but it might be worth a
try to try and save up to $100
