Help Required: Teac P-10 CD Transport Failure

I picked up a Teac Esoteric P-10 CD Transport which contains the better VRDS CMK-3 drive & KSS-151A laser.

Symptoms:

Open CD Tray and load CD.
Press close...CD Tray moves smoothly back in.
Clamp will pickup CD for a couple seconds, unclamp and then open & spit out tray with CD.

During this operation the laser is in Rest Position and does not move at all once the disc is clamped.

Note: If I push laser assembly away from rest position ...it will stay there always... unless I close tray and it will move back to Rest position and then the tray will close and clamp again. The laser is not clamped with shipping/transport mechanism ...it off to side (white locking lever.)

Laser is not visible even in dark during this procedure. I have not seen the Laser (faint RED) at all anytime since I picked it up yesterday.

Does anyone know the sequential order in regards to spinning & laser movement?

Is this correct:
Does the tray clamp the disc first..... then the laser assembly moves into position.... then the Disc spins and then the servos drive the radial & focus coils?

Is this correct? Or what is it? As I believe this is critical to the repair..

Note I changed out the Dual Power OPAMP (U113 - 5218L) that drives the Spindle Motor. NO Change from before....

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
