The cld-2070 requires a special lubrication grease, so you can't just oil it.

This machine is about 13-14 years old and was notorious for having the disc table (drawer) go out of alignment. Once that happens it can be repaired but the repair won't last long before the problem reoccurs.

If your example still works then count your blessing and forget about the noise. Replacement value is probably about $25 and for twice that amount on ebay you can buy a newer pioneer that will have a much better picture. Oh and btw, I find it endaringly odd that there are collectors who will pay several hundred dollars on ebay for the elite version of the cld-2070, the cld-92. I own two of them (both broken) and they were junk even when they worked.
