Broken-off Pin in Musical Box Cylinder
By Huibert Jan Simonsz

Dear editor,  How do I replace a broken-off pin in the cylinder of my
Late G. Baker-Troll & Co. musical box?  Is the cylinder hollow, or are
the holes blind and can the broken-off pin only be drilled out?

The other pins are not worn; I myself have caused the pin to break off
as a young (naughty) boy.  I am very curious what the experts say!

Thank you,
