As I know - Thorens has finished producing music-boxes 10 or 15 years ago. If you get informations about people who sell Thorens spare parts please let me know.

I have a few 100 Thorens-movements in my collection. Some I will sell; also a lot of spare parts (combs, screws, keys, springs) I have. What is the size of your comb; how many teeths; is it for a moveable cylinder ? What (is) are the melodies on your music-box. For small movements it's often the case, that the comb is produced for a special melody; for another melody the comb can be different. May be I will find in my basement what you need.
