This box is for sale - OIR of £550
This was the first Music Box I bought in October 2020. It plays twelve different tunes, one for each rotation of the cylinder.
The tunes appear to be hymns or carols. See below.

It measures 24" x 8" x 7" (610 x 200 x 180mm) and weighs 12.6kg due to the cast iron bedplate.
In June 2023 the box was taken to The Music Box Restorer to have a tooth repaired, 53 dampers replaced and the governor serviced. The cylinder / comb alignment was adjusted making the tunes clearer.
After collection in September the case was dismantled, cleaned and re polished using the correct polishes.

I'm trying to identify the tunes. If you recognise any of them please Contact me with the track title and the Tune number. Thanks
Since restoring the comb the tunes sound better and I will update the recordings shortly.
A quirk of the system here.
Download really means, open window. The problem is it overwrites the current window, so just navigate back to it when you've listened.
