Straightening Bent Cylinder Pins
By Fred Neece

Can anyone lead me to a detailed description of how to go about
straightening of bent cylinder pins on a large cylinder music box,
if that is possible?  If not, can anyone lead me to a good complete
and accurate explanation of how to go about repinning the cylinder?

I'm wondering about the old resin or cement filling, or coating,
of the interior of the cylinder, and if this must also be removed
or replaced.

Thanks,
Fred Neece
