Seek Parts for 14.5" Polyphon
By Tomek Budzynski

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

Good morning.  My name is Tomek, I come from Poland.  From some time
I am very interested in old mechanical music instruments.  I have
bought one lately; it's a 14.5" Polyphon, two combs, 12 bells.
Unfortunately, it's incomplete.  Some parts are missing: the spiral
and some other inside parts, for which the names I even don't know
(some wheels, etc.)

I would like to make my Polyphon play again.  So, if it's only
possible, I beg for some help, such as some schematic, any descriptions
of its inside mechanism, or even some pictures.  Looking forward for
some response.
