Seek Part for Mermod Freres Cylinder Musical Box
By Bill Wineburgh

I am fixing a Mermod Freres cylinder box.  It has an early type of tune
change mechanism as described by Robin Biggins in the Winter 1999 MBSI
Journal, on page 11, figures 5 & 6.  A photo of the part is attached.

The one I'm restoring is missing a few parts, having a poor replacement
for the right hand knob (the manual tune change), and most of the
remaining change/repeat parts are gone.  Please take a look at your
junk boxes and spare parts and let me know if there is anyone out there
who may have this part available.

Thanks,
