Dear James,  Saw your posting on MMD.  There no new parts for Thorens
movements as they have been out of the music box business for several
years.

However, depending on the size of the mechanism (18-, 28-, 36-, 50-
or 72-note), we can sometimes use a current Reuge main spring or
cannibalize the part from an older Thorens or Jaccard movement to
replace the broken spring.

Please feel free to contact us with more specifics about your
particular movement.
