Seek Motor for 8-1/2-inch Celesta Disc Musical Box
By Alison Biden

I was asked by an overseas member of MBSGB who does not speak English
to help him get his musical box fixed.  This turned out to be a Celesta
disc musical box, playing 8-1/2-inch discs (21 cm).  It was thought
that the governor needed repair and there was some problem with the
motor.  On inspection it would appear that at some point in the past
this box had suffered a 'barnyard' attack, and the motor was from a
gramophone!

Does anyone out there have a motor which would suit this machine?  Any
other suggestions as to what to do with it?  It is currently in UK.
