Seek New Movement for Rusty Reuge
By Dean Moore

Hi Folks,  Am looking for suggestions from the music box experts.
Recently I bought a beautiful inlayed wood music box made in Italy
with a small rusted "Reuge" action which plays an out of tune
selection.  I bought this box not because I like out of tune music
but because of its case beauty.

Now since I know nothing about what is available to make this into a
box that would be beautiful not only in looks but also in sound, I need
advice from you music box people.  The inside dimensions are 1 3/4 deep
X 9 1/8 wide X 4 7/8.  Since this is not an antique box (presently
maybe 40 years old) I don't feel bad about modifying it.

I truly need some suggestions about availability of actions, cost,
what you would do with it, etc.

Many Thanks,
Dean Moore
