Seek Tiny 18-note Movement for Carved Figure
By Dennis Unks

I have an old whistler type figure with an accordion that needs
either a replacement comb or a replacement mechanical movement.
I have checked with Don Caine, Moe Goldie, Manfred Huber and Marcus
Freimuth, but because of its small size, no success.

I believe it is an 18-note movement, smaller in dimension than any
current replacements and, unfortunately, there's no room to increase
the available space.  The dimensions are 39 mm x 48 mm.  There is
a three-note music staff on the comb between its mounting screws.
"AR18M" is stamped on the underside.  Pictures are available.

Hopefully there's a similar replacement out there somewhere!  Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dennis Unks
