I have received a badly damaged 8-tune music box in my shop.  I've done
all the cosmetic work on the works, everything is all set to go, except
that the gear which mates with the fly has been damaged due to previous
maladjustment.  The teeth have been crowned over.  I've done my best to
true the gear and I've recut each tooth sparingly and cut to a greater
depth, but what has been lost is the overall diameter of the gear.

Is this something anyone can help me with?  May I send some the damaged
gear for evaluation?
