Seek Sankyo Movement "Isle of Capri"
By Meta Brown

My mother-in-law has a music box movement that used to play Isle of
Capri, but which no longer plays anything.  It's a Sankyo movement.
Although I have found dealers who carry a variety of tunes at
reasonable prices, Isle of Capri is apparently no longer a stock item.
I've found two sources for a replacement.  I can either have a lot of
200 at $1.75 each or one at $45.

Anyone know of good sources for a single unusual Sankyo movement?
I'm fairly sure that this would bring my mother-in-law $45 worth of
happiness, but I'd feel better shopping around.

In the meanwhile, this place stocks a wide variety of movements.  They
even supply custom tunes if you want huge quantities.  Their unit
prices seem reasonable to me.
