Cleaning the Music Box Movement
By Hal O'Rourke 

Cleaning a music box movement is no problem at all.  Spray it down with
oven cleaner, remove cleaner with a garden hose, then spray liberally
with WD-40.  It's not necessary to remove it from the case ;-)

A dealer at my local "low end" flea market who sells wonderful boxes
recommends this.  I have yet to try.  Good luck!

 [ You *are* joking, I hope!  WD-40 is for oiling throwaway things!
 [ O' course, it looks pretty when sprayed on the case!  ;)  -- Robbie
