Seek Winding Crank for Mermod Cylinder Music Box
By Ken Clark

I recently acquired a Mermod cylinder music box without its winding
crank and wonder if anyone out there might have one for sale.  The
instrument is serial no. 53648 (circa 1891), with 11-inch cylinder
playing ten tunes.  The winding shaft is 0.480 inch (12.2 mm) diameter
with a taper pin, to engage the crank, set 5/8-inch (15.9 mm) in from
the end.  Any condition is okay.  Thanks.
