John Tuttle's request for a music box repairman in the Philadelphia
area caught my eye, and then I realized that the owner of the box
John describes probably needs someone with more cabinetry skills than
mechanical and musical skills.

Every now and then the MBSI web site gets a similar request, and while
there are music box repairmen that can be recommended, the MBSI does
not have a good list of people who are known to be competent in wood
refinishing, repair, marquetry, and similar cabinetry skills.  Do
MMD'ers have any favorites to recommend?
