[net.audio] CD head crash

I have a Sherwood CD player, 3-beam pickup, no fancy options. This is one
of the early versions. Recently I heard rough sounds on the speakers when
playing selections. Looking at the disk, there appeared to be very small
scratches on it. So, I put on a brand new sparkling disk, played it
for a while, took it out, and voila, noticed very fine scratches. Not nice.
The rough speaker sounds appeared to be happening at the precise instant
a head touched my disk. 

Anyone had similar experiences?  I now have to get it fixed at my expense,
seeing how the warranty ran out a long time ago.
