Need Symphonion Music Box Motor Repair
By Greg Farmer

I found a small old Symphonion music box that plays 7-11/16 inch discs,
but there are some parts missing from the motor.

There is a 3-1/4 inch brass gear connected to the center shaft that
drives the disc, but nothing is driving the gear.  There is also
nothing driving the worm gear that is on the shaft with the governor.
Does anyone know what is missing, or have parts for this? Or can the
parts be made?  I'd like to get it running.
