I have had a 6CD duplicator at my church act up. 2dvd drives wouldn't work and it would freeze up after about a half hour of run time. Like your shop a church gets damp during the week. I sprayed all the contacts with DeOxit spray from Parts Express. I try to get contact cleaner that leaves a slight film of light oil behind to protect the contact area from oxygen. That duplicator has been working now for longer than it worked from new. I had wondered if it would work without capacitively loading down a processor running at 2 to 3 Ghz. It did for me.
