Mechanical Music Digest: My highest regards and congratulations;
it's very nice to see your website!

I'm writing to you to learn more about a Baker Troll music box
in Argentina that I am restoring. All its parts are engraved with
the number "4192."

This music box belonged to Joaquín Víctor Gonzales, dating from
around 1880. I bought it a few months ago in Buenos Aires from
a descendant of his family.

The case is very dirty and greasy. Only the paper with the
melodies inside the lid is missing. It works with notable flaws.

Aware of your extensive knowledge, I request any information that
may help with its repair and classification.

Best regards from La Plata, Argentina.
