Has anyone experienced the paper jamming when using the motorised 30 note music mechanism from China? Any ideas how to make it grab better? one needs to pull it through to help it it work. I've seen some people use these and it works fine.
i've tried different thickness' of paper but i intend to use the roll but im concerned it it too thick, but i has seen this working ok on YT so my mechanism must be faulty. It requires a considerable tawk especially on the tape join.
I have also a motor 30 note music box. For me i have a different problem. I removed the motor to a other musicbox because the previous one have some notes that makes high pitch noices. sometimes the gears jammed each other. and the little gear where the motor is spinning keeps spinning. that small gear literally grind my gears. any ideas how to fix that?

The card stock used in the rolls of punch card stock sold online work well.

The shorter sheets work well too, but you have to use scarf joints if you join them together so that th
joints feed through smoothly
