As I know - Thorens has finished producing music-boxes  10 or 15 years ago.
If you get informations about people who sell Thorens spare parts please
let me know.

I have a few 100 Thorens-movements in my collection.
Some I will sell; also a lot of spare parts (combs, screws, keys,
springs) I have.
What is the size of your comb; how many teeths;  is it for a moveable cylinder ?
What (is) are the melodies on your music-box.
For small movements it's often the case,
that the comb is produced for a special melody;
for another melody the comb can be different.
May be I will find in my basement  what you need.
