Symphonion "You Pay I Play" Musical Bank
By Claire Cleland
Hello there, I have come into ownership of a wonderful Symphonion
"You Pay - I Play" musical savings bank attributed to Lochmann, Leipzig,
Germany. A coin is placed through the top and a musical tune will play.
There is only one problem -- it doesn't work. It is missing an internal
part. I am not sure what exactly the part looks like or how exactly
I would get it made, but I do know it is quite small, perhaps a couple
of inches long.
I am seeking help from someone who may have some knowledge on the
subject and could perhaps advise me on the internal workings of such
an item.
Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
