Sankyo 20-Note Paper Strip Music Box
By Dan Perry

Greetings.  It looks like Le Turlutain & Co., at the MMD Links page,
carries the punched paper card playing music box.  I haven't ordered
from them but their site leads me to believe it would not be a problem.
I'm going to try.

Dan Perry

 [ Good job web surfing, Dan!  Here's some text to entice our MMDers:
 [
 [    http://perso.wanadoo.fr/leturlutain/english/cataloguebam.htm
 [
 [ "Music boxes with perforable paper cards"
 [
 [ "These boxes work with cardboard strips, perforated thanks to a
 [  small punch also supplied with the box.  You can play pre-printed
 [  cards or make your own compositions.  Full instructions, a
 [  transposer and a few cards will enable you to make your first
 [  compositions."
 [
 [ "Ref. 102 -- Movement set in plain wooden box to be decorated;
 [  supplied with punch, instructions and 3 trial cards.
 [  100 x 135 x 70 mm    390FF [about 63 US$] "
 [
 [ "Ref. 109 -- 20-note movement, with punch, instructions,
 [  and 3 trial cards    270FF  [about 44 US$] "
 [
 [ The name at the French page means "box for programmable music",
 [ or "programmable music box" ; either way it's a good name!
