Don, Also chk. the spindle disk holder height on the spindle motor. The disk must be the proper distance from the optical lens. (If you didn't change the motor as part of the opt. ass'y.) I've seen the plastic crack and then the disk holder slips down the spindle shaft causing the optical gap to get too close for the focus range. The constant clamping of the disk can also cause the height to change. Watch the lens movement during the focus cycle, see if it is going under and over a full range during the seek & lock phase. Also suspect the spindle motor itself, for worn armature fingers. This can cause a weak motor movement. It will struggle with proper speed control.
