Seek Repair of Olympia Disc Music Box
By Michael Pollard

I have a beautiful old Olympia disc music box that is carved and
in excellent shape, except that it does not run.  It has been in
the family for many years and was rebuilt some ten years ago by my
father-in-law and it ran beautifully.  He was a mechanical music
repair person in Houston (M.M. Wiseman, now deceased).

I feel the problem may be just a spring so I want to tackle the
job myself.  Could anyone please tell me of a good book on the
subject of repair of an Olympia?  I have the Graham Web book called
The Disc Musical Box Handbook, but would like a more specific book.

Sincerely,
Michael Pollard
Tucson, Arizona
