Regina 'Bell' Disc Musical Box With 12 Bells
By Kevin McElhone

I have a major problem right at the end of writing my Disc Box Book
over the Regina models No. 215, No. 216 and No. 217.  These are
listed as playing 15-1/2" discs, clearly marked as 'Bell' discs for
use on Bell models only.  In several previous reference works it states
that the models 216 and 217, which have double combs, have 124 teeth.
It now seems this may be incorrect, by quite a number of teeth.

If anyone has one of these, _please_ can you count the teeth in the
combs, and ideally send me a close-up photo of the combs -- this would
be very helpful.

Thank you,
Kevin McElhone
