Unikon Musical Box Plays a Zinc Music Strip
By Kevin McElhone 

The Unikon is a rare type which plays a zinc strip of music, covered
in cardboard and is powered by edge-driven sprocket holes. Does anyone
have access to an instrument in a museum or their own collection?
I would like to know serial numbers of the instruments and the tune
numbers and titles please.

Thanks,
