Repairing the Reeds in Otto Accordion Orchestrion
By Bernt Damm

Hello all,  I am currently repairing this Otto self-playing accordion.
What is the correct way to reattach the aluminium reed assemblies
inside the accordion to their wooden carriers?  I see the remnants
of some sort of waxy stuff (beeswax?).

I have to remove some of the reeds as they are not working.  How
should I go about re-attaching them properly?

Also, does anyone know of a supplier for accordion related parts and
materials?

Kind regards,
Bernt Damm
