"Mr. Christmas" Music Box On Sale at Sam's Club
By Devon Hollingsworth

Thanks for the holiday tips!  I went to our nearest Sam's Club, and
found they had about a dozen of the "deluxe" Mr. Christmas music boxes
left, priced now at about $38 with tax!  Yesterday, my wife and I were
at another store, and saw the cheaper version at a huge Christmas
store, only the display one left, for over $50.  It sure looked cheap
and, as some of you said, it sounded that way also.

Last year, I got some great bargains the day after Christmas as a
result of your advice.  I look forward to future notice, and I hope
whoever suggested he would be making additional discs will carry out
the plans to do that.  I would happily buy more if they were available.

Happy New Year to all!

Devon Hollingsworth, in Chicago Suburb

 [ Here's a summary of the info about the 20-note interchangeable disc
 [ music box in MMDigest recently.  Two different models exist, both
 [ packaged by "Mr. Christmas":
 [
 [ 1. The simpler version is called "Holiday Symphonium", housed in a
 [ simple square case without glass; the discs are stored in a pocket
 [ inside the solid wood lid; 16 Christmas songs included.
 [
 [ 2. The fancier version is called "Holiday Music Box", with simulated
 [ beveled glass on the top; housed in a large case with slots at the
 [ right of the movement for storing the discs; comes with 12 Christmas
 [ songs and 4 secular tunes. 
 [
 [ 3. The related paper-strip-playing movement was sold last year as
 [ "Music in Motion".
 [
 [ In 991215 MMD is the long list of stores which sell the music box.
 [ The basic 20-note movement is marketed by Sankyo Seiki (Hong Kong).
