I'd like to correct an error in information here.  If a tooth is
broken it has nothing to do with the damper in a disc box.  Conversely,
sometimes dampers are broken or worn and need to be replaced but it has
nothing to do with the comb teeth!  They are entirely separate entities.

While it is true that a few of us have a stash of Regina dampers and
not of Mira dampers, the manufacturer of the Regina dampers died a few
years ago and they are no longer obtainable.

Also, it's impossible to comment on the price of any box when one
doesn't even know the size of the disc.
