Seek Pictures of Komet Victoria Musical Box
By Peter Trodd

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --

I am building virtually from scratch a cabinet to house a 13-1/4"
Komet orphan disc music box movement.  I have been using the pictures
in Q.  David Bowers 'Encyclopedia of Mechanical Music' which are
quite small and difficult to pick out detail to try and copy the
'Komet Victoria' upright on page 112.

My problem is I have no pictures of the shape size of the coin slot,
metal work around the winding handle or shape of the escutcheons for
the key slots.  I have some spare Polyphon parts for the above but
don't want to use obviously wrong pieces.

I would appreciate any detailed pictures.

Thank you,
Peter Trodd
