Introduction; Thorens Replacement Comb Needed
By J. B. te Pas

Good day to you ! By sheer coincidence I obtained a children's music
box, which turns out to be made by Thorens.  By another coincidence I
found a Mr. Charles Kossman (digest 96.04.15) on the Internet, in
need of exactly the comb I also need.  I read that a certain Mr. Hauke
Marxsen had plenty of Thorens parts and tried to reach him via E-mail.
He was "gone" as Compuserve told me.  I tried to reach Mr.Charles
Kossman: same result.  Now I ask you to assist me in finding a supplier
for the comb with 30 teeth, width about 4 cm(l 5/8 inch).  I shall be
glad to give a further description of the music box, if required.  I
hope this time E-mail works and that I receive a positive reaction, for
which I thank you in advance.

My name is Johan B. te Pas, old 76 years, living in Zeist, Holland
and if you want to know more, just let me know.

Kind regards, J.B. te Pas, E-mail: John_te_Pas.@compuserve.com
