Not sure what the skipping, slowing and speeding issues is and whether it's something that can be fixed or needing to be swapped out. Not looking for after-market; want to keep it OEM as much as possible.

Also, all the buttons below the Cassette and to the right of the volume knob, need the lights in the circuit board de-soldered and replaced. Lights are less than $10, and an afternoon on a slow day.

The FAN knob is as possessed as the CD. Wants to work at different speed on all settings but Low, which doesn't work at all. Sometimes the other settings wont work but I turn the knob and they will. . . but not always the speed it should be. Bad contacts? Bad Potentiometer? Dirty?
I found a new OEM Radio and slave CD player. Should be here next week. Will swap out the radio and then order the replacement lights for $9. Re-solder the lights and save the radio as a backup. Will swap out the CD Player Not sure if there is a fix for the old unit or not. At least I will have new warranted OEM units.
