Seek Hand-cranked 30-note 4.5" Disc Movements
By Don Caine

Please let me know if anyone out there has for sale any Thorens,
Helvetia or other maker's hand-cranked (manivelle) musical box or
mechanism that plays 30-note 4-1/2-inch discs.

These boxes were sold as "organs for children" under brand names such
as Thorens, Helvetia and Edelweiss.  I'm interested in purchasing one
or more of these old units, in almost any condition with, or without,
the associated discs.

P.S.  Please let me know if I can be of assistance to any of you for
parts or repair restoration services of these AD30 4-1/2-inch disc
players.  I stock most of the replacement parts, including the combs
for the very early models with flat tips on the tines.  I also have
over 3,000 assorted discs of 180 different tune selections.  Thanks
for your time and consideration.

Most sincerely,
