Single-Comb 11-Inch Regina Music Box
By Glenn Zielinski

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I just purchased a single comb, oak, Regina music box via eBay.
I know that it is probably not the best Regina made but it fills the
house with incredible sound.  I have a few questions regarding it and
I wonder if someone can help me.

1.  I understand that this 11-inch single comb used to have feet, but
I have no Idea what they were supposed to look like so that I can either
buy them or make them.  Does anyone know what they looked like or if
they can be purchased?

2.  How can one fix a disc that tends to stick?

3.  Does anyone know what the approximate value of an oak, single-comb
Regina 11-inch disc player is worth?

4.  The lithograph of the cherubs and the queen in the cover is torn.
Should I attempt to replace it and if so where might I look?

5.  I am quite handy and would love to acquire a double comb Regina in
disrepair to work on myself.  Anyone have an idea where the best place
is to look for one?

Thanks,
