Firstly I wouldn't weight your arm with a coin unless you want to ruin your records. A coin will add far too much weight despite solving the skipping problem some of the time. The fact that it doesn't solve it all the time points towards something else anyway. Sounds like it might be a tracking issue to me and the fact that the problem has only occurred since you took it apart to fix the 8 track suggests you may have not re-assembled it correctly. Might be worth stripping it down and re-assembling it again. Failing that you may need the help of a dealer that offers repairs.
