Lubricating a Small Music Box Movement
By Andrew J. Young

-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD --

I have a music box with an 18-note Sankyo movement that plays the 18th
Variation.  I hear the noise of the movement between notes and I was
told to apply fine oil to the movement.

My question is, how can I lubricate this without taking it apart?
I am not no mechanic so I prefer not to take it apart.  I just want
that slight hissing sound to go away.

Please email Andrew at <andrew.j.young@worldnet.att.net>

Thank you.
