I have been searching the internet for parts for a pre-1950s
Reuge music box movement.  I have even searched a good bit of the
MMD Archives.

This music box is either a 15- or 18-note movement that was in
a small dome case on the underside of a child's rocking chair and
it has not worked in years.  I have taken out the Reuge movement
and oiled it and it seems to have an issue with the spring.  Upon
inspection I found the spring to be broken.

Now my questions are (1) where can I find replacement parts for
this old Reuge music box movement, and (2) is it worth fixing or
is it better to just replace it?

Thanks,
