As a present to my grandad (age 94) I said I would repair an old porcelain rotating figurine of his which his now deceased wife (my grandma) once loved . After some research I need to replace the mechanism with an 18 note "magic flute" by Mozart. The one inside is badly broke and I just cant fix it even with hours of work on it. The cylinder just wont be seated when I try to mount the winding mechanism on. Its now in pieces.
There doesn't seem to be any available online, Does anyone know of a seller? They are very cheap (eBay etc) but I cant find "magic flute" and this is really essential for him. Any other ideas much appreciated.
I saw someone on reddit with a similar predicament. They said they found a Thai seller that offered a custom cylinder for $250... unfortunately, it just doesn't seem like there is a good solution for 18 note boxes right now.

FYI it is a Sankyo music box if this helps?

ah that's rubbish. Thanks so much for the help though!
I have the cylinder I just cant get it all together!
May be an idea to buy one of these and use the mechanism for your project...
