Chinese-Made Music Box Plays Cardboard Roll
By Jim Canavan

I bought one of these in early December at Target, and it has been
working fine.  It is a true music box (I'd like it even better had it
been a reed organ!) and it does actually play off the continuous roll.

The sound is not bad, although the electric motor is rather noisy.  No
problems with jammed roll to date, although watching the roll fold and
twist through the clear plastic window (beveled plastic, yet!) on the
front of the box, I was _sure_ it was going to happen a few times!

Not a bad little musical item for $60.
