hello all,

I am re-working an eight tune, drum style music box for a lady.  The
problem is that 75% of the 4300 pin actuators are bent over or broke
off.  I am now in the process of removing all of them, and plan to
replace them.  Does anyone know what type of wire was used to make those
pins?  Is there an outlet to purchase those pins?  (I expect I'll have
to make them).  The inside of the drum was coated with aprox. 1/4 inch
of something, to firm up around the pins to keep them from rocking
loose.  Does any body know what this goop was?

Thanx in advance for all who can help!
