Mermod Freres Music Box Converted to Coin-Op
By Ed Gaida

Words fail me on this one.  I do not usually "surf" eBay, but I just
found a unique conversion of a classic Mermod Freres music box.  It
appears to be mounted in an old radio case and has been rigged for coin
operation.

You owe it to yourself to see this one.  Pay particular attention to
the name given the music box and note how they arrived at the date of
manufacture.

Don't fail to miss it if you can.  I did not know whether to laugh or
cry.  It is not for the faint hearted.  You have been warned!
