Introduction
By Andy Park

Hi Guys,  I'm Andrew Park, and I'm interested in mechanical
musical instruments ranging from music boxes to carousel organs.
For over 20 years I've collected music boxes ranging from Fisher
Price to Mr. Christmas disc boxes!

One day in January of 1999, while at FAO Schwartz in Manhattan,
I encountered a Porter disc music box playing "The Phantom of the
Opera" theme.  I was like, "I want to buy this thing," but it cost
around $12-14k!  Again in February that same year, I went to hear it
again.  In March, the disc had been changed to "One Moment in Time"
and it started my interested in mechanical musical instruments.
I hope I could get one soon.  Anyway, let me know.

Nice to meet you all in MMD!
