Hi! Technics CD player SL-PG 470a "jumps" when playing. It skips sometimes few seconds and sometimes hole song! I have schematic but I need tip! Help!

YOUR FAULT IS PROBABLY THE OPTICAL BLOCK ITSELF, IT COMES COMPLETE WITH THE SPINDLE MOTOR AND SLED MOTOR SO IS NICE AND EASY TO REPLACE.

I believe that problem is in leads! When I press skip button it sometimes can't precisely found start of song, it starts few seconds earlier. There are tin copper leads on laser head-lens. I am afraid there is bad connection because this part is in small movement and that is reason why it sometimes can not find start of song and sometimes skips by itself-laser power unstable. Is it possible?

highly unlikely to be that, pickup is probably struggling to focus.
