Need Help With Musical Cuckoo Clock
By Justin J. Miller

I recently acquired a musical Beha cuckoo clock for my collection.
Following the cuckoo's call, a small keywind music box is activated.
The box is currently unrestored and has a few buzzing issues and a
broken mainspring; but it is, all in all, in good condition.

First I am hoping someone can help identify the tune it plays, heard on
this YouTube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXyONbPqqiw 
Due to the broken mainspring, I am manually powering the box as it
plays.

I am also interested in finding someone who could service the musical
movement.  The comb is perfect, with no broken teeth.  Some pins on the
cylinder need straightening, but nothing major there.   Mainly needed
are a cleaning, a new mainspring, and removing a few buzzes that can be
heard in the video.

I can send detailed photos on request.
