Unknown Interchangeable Cylinder Music Movement
By Ben Bowen

I have a clock repair shop and found this cylinder music player in my
store room. I would like information about it. There are 5 cylinders
and the mounting is cast iron. The base is 5-3/4" long and 3-1/8" wide.
The end of the unit swings out to replace the cylinders.

The comb has 36 teeth. The 'pins' are pressed out of each cylinder. The
only stamp on the base is the number 141. The cylinders are numbered
and measure 1-1/16 x 2-1/4" long. There is no power source.

Any help in identifying this would be appreciated.
