Regina Coin Mechanism
By Eliyahu Shahar

I believe that there still are music box people out there, just the
silent minority.

I have a 15.5" Regina which I am restoring.  For the most part, the
problems are straightforward and I can handle them.  My problem is
that the coin-op parts were disassembled and I am not sure how to
reassemble them.  I understand the basic operation and ideas, but it
would really help me to get a few good close-up photos as I have never
seen a coin-op open that I could compare ("The toe bone's connected
to the foot bone," etc.).

If anyone out there has a table-top Regina coin-op that could share
with me a few pictures of the mechanism, I would be forever in your
debt.  If there is a reference book for sale with this, that would
help as well, but it's a bit of an esoteric subject.

Thanks in advance,

Eliyahu Shahar
