Hello, Mr. te Pas or can I call you Johan ?

Yes I have changed the provider, since a while I am a member of T-Online
(different reasons).

Please could you give me more information about the movement ?  Is it a
cyl.-movement with 1 tune or a movement with more then one tune; may be
with a moveable cylinder ? What are the name(s) of the tune(s) ?  It's
often the case (smaller movements), that the comb is tuned for a special
melody.

It seems to me, it could be a Thorens disc movement (4 1/2 inch model) ?
In that case you should contact Misses Nancy Fratti in NY / USA; e-mail:
"musicboxlady@juno.com"

When Thorens stopped  producing the disc movements, Reuge bought the
equipment and continued to produce the disc movements.  Nancy Fratti
offers Reuge disc box parts.  Maybe the attachment holes of the Reuge
comb differ a little bit from the Thorens one.

Nancy Fratti offers a comb for 62 USD plus a little bit for posting.  
I hope you will get the comb you are looking for.

Kind regards, yours Hauke (Marxsen)
