Here are at least two sources that do professional re-pinning of
cylinders and other repairs of music boxes:
Nancy Fratti
Panchronia Antiquities
P.O.Box 210, Route 4
Whitehall, NY, 12887-0210
tel: 518-282-9770 (Mon-Sat, 9am-7pm)
fax: 518-282-9800 (24 hrs)

DB Musical Restorations
David & Carol Beck
75 Waters Edge Lane
Newnan, Georgia 30263
tel: 770-253-1903

Both these will do an excellent job. Waiting time is 3 to 5 months.
Ask them to do the raking as well.

[ Bill Wineburgh also wrote with these same two names, and said:

[> As an apprentice musical box restorer, I echo Dan Wilson's remarks.
[> It's best to have the work done by a trained professional or run
[> the risk of permanently ruining the cylinder.
